Keep sharing the group with everyone you think might need a hand with the raspiblitz that way main contributors can focus more on the important issues. We nonetheless are planning to report on a monthly basis of what’s going on in here.

Hi peeps! Thanks for the admin status, I may use it wisely.

A question to the chat straight:
13:43
What is the max number channels your RPi was dealing with? I have seen people had problems with the Casa node after 30ish. Mine max was 10 channels and routing actively, without any issues.
P
14:11
PinkPanther
I’ve had 22 i think active and the pi was working as usual
14:12
Now i have 18 i guess and no issues appart from that lack of ram sometimes that might be due to the power supply
14:12
All tests were below 1.24v

How can I get the node a new onion address?

you can get a new one by creating a new wallet, but not sure if it is the only way

I realize I would get a new address with a new wallet install. Yes I tried to switch on and off. Same onion address. I tried switching node name also. Same onion addresses still.

there is a Tor library on the HDD. Will need to move it to have a new address generated.

Would be great if somehow we can implement as easily as possible the new features of bitcoin core with the raspiblitz
13:54
Essentially the hardware wallet integration.
13:55
That would defo add another layer of security to the set up
C
14:01
CryptoMulde ⚡️
you can connect your full node to android "green" wallet and also use greenwallet with your ledger+trezor
14:02
for layer 1 + hw wallet
14:02
even better would be electrum private server + hww + electrum
14:02
because electrum offers coin control, green does not (means you can define which outputs to spend)
14:04
for iOS i use "hodl wallet" and connected it to my raspiblitz
14:04
but no HWW support
14:06
ZAP + ZEUS are the best LN wallets IMO
14:06
also wasabi works with ledger. only bech32 segwit native, but it works awesome. i use it on a daily basis

thanks! curious, has anyone been looking into a way to sort of create a little cluster of these nodes such that, for example, if you want to help bootstrap a friend you could just pull one out of your cluster and hand it to him/her? (preusmably they would reimburse you for the hardware of course)
16:14
obviously there are some security and privacy risks with that if one isn't careful, just an interesting thought
o
16:24
openoms
I am experimenting with BTRFS RAID1 disks, so you can remove a disk any time to bootstrap a new node and put an empty one to clone the data and retain the redundancy.
P
16:25
PhilbertW
nice, yes that's pretty similar to what i was thinking as well
16:27
though i don't have much experience setting up such a system ... which led me to think, perhaps there is a way we can use QEMU or something to virtualize raspiblitz which would allow quicker iteration/testing perhaps?
o
16:41
openoms
an x86 branch is prerelease as well, so you could test on a clean linux or normal virtual machine. Keep an eye on this thread: https://github.com/openoms/raspiblitz/issues/46 ( my X86 AtomicPi has just arrived, testing is planned to commence next week)

Haven’t gotten started yet, wondering if people dual purpose their Pi LN with Raspiblitz. I use Pi-hole and it spikes to about 47% utilization at peak use. Can I launch Raspiblitz in its own tmux screen and run other things? Is the utilization minimal?
o
13:35
openoms
yes, you can multitask on the RPi given it has 4 CPUcores (only 1GB RAM tough) . It is not tested with the RPi but I am running the RaspiBlitz system, Electrs and Pi Hole on my Odroid HC1 simultaneously without problems. Let us know how it goes if you try it.

14:59
CryptoMulde ⚡️
@openoms i did not get electrs running yet. could it be a problem with my custom setup which is tunneling port 833X(custom port) 973X to an external vps? i tried to connect internally and also tried with my "home public ip" only thing i did not try is forwaring the 50001 to my vps and open it from there. could this be the issue or do you see any other "problem". idk how "electrs" works tbh. my solution currently is a small tweak because i am changing my ip manually in raspiblitz.conf in /mnt/hdd/
15:02
maybe also has to do with my adapted bitcoind ports?

yes i never used it tough - i think only these "boards pc's" are supported
i once had the idea to run raspiblitz on an old laptop, but no success with that

plus i never used dietpi yet

but i think raspiblitz always wants the "external hdd", in my case this was not pososible

It will be the same as building your own SD card, but on the Ubuntu instead of Raspbian. The most important difference is tge processor architecture. The SBC-s supported so far are ARMv7 or ARMv8 and your miniPC is probably intel based (x86 in other words) so uses a different build/CPU instruction set. Can you share what the exact model is?
03:40
In reply to this message
This is true to your old laptop as well. You can test again once the X86 setup is done. Your internal HDD will work. You just need any >300 GB disk and a USB stick/SD card to boot from. Can use DietPi or an Ubuntu minimal image with command line.

The RPi is not compatible with Ubuntu. It has it's own Debian based linux flavor called Raspbian, because instead of BIOS/UEFI it runs a closed source ThreadX system to communicate with the hardware. The DietPi image for the RPi is the stripped down version of Raspbian with the DietPi menu addons. The most support is for Raspbian so I would recommend to keep using that for the RPi.

In reply to this message
Most of us use zap since its simple and clean, regarding to Autopilot i personally never recommend using it unless you know what u are doing. There will come time when autopilot its gonna get so efficient that no human will be able to beat how it performs, however, today it is much better if you manage and mantain the channels by yourself. I’d say lightning requires today bit of trust if you dont wanna be completely #reckless

Hello, I am getting some trouble with raspiblitz. I have customized successfully aspbian with raspiblitz's script. First start was somehow ok, during the boot it asked me for the root psw to execute maintancance on the system, I ctrl +d'ed and managed to login into the system through SSH.
09:44
When it comes with the HDD check/setup it asks me to format it, however the HDD already has a fully synced copy of the blockchain. If I tell the script to do not erase the HDD by clicking Cancel it just shuts it down the system.
09:45
And when I start the Raspberry again it stucks with completely white LCD and no ssh, it looks like it won't boot again.
09:45
Any hint? Bad SD card maybe?
09:47
(during the first successfull boot I received some ext4-FS error or something like that)

Hi all! Have anyone upgraded from v0.99 to v1.2? The documentation have a section for how to upgrade from v1.0, v1.1 and from versions under v0.98. But is missing documentation for v0.98 and v0.99.

Is the process for v0.99 the same as for v1.0 (you just write a new SD card without closing the channels)?

May be a silly question, but would 10009 & 8080 be required fro use with Zap IOS?
C

It depends. If you use it in your internal network no need to forward
16:29
Question is not silly
16:29
I don’t forward these ports and use zap on iOS with my node
16:30
If you want to control your node outside of your network with zap you need to forward the specific port

Allowing outside access through port forwarding

I think for any mobile wallet u use it requires to open some ports, the other answer is by opening port 22 and using the node directly from the cellphone

Hey I recently installed v1.2 and everything seemed to go smoothly. However, only half of my channels are back online. Is this some incompatibility issue between my node and nodes running an older version of LND? It's been about 3 hours since I brought my node back online after the upgrade

Most likely it is, some of my channels are inactive as well for a couple of days now and i believe is because im not sitting on the most recent version. I remember when the .5.2 was released same happened.

Thanks man, I'm really pleased with it. Really compact and minimal. I bought it off Amazon. It comes with the LCD screen and an extra ventilated lid in case you decide to not use the screen. Let me find the link...
13:17
If you already have the LCD, they're also available without the screen and with the option of a cooling fan through Geekworm (and probably somewhere on Amazon but I can't find it). I think the case would also work for the LCD screen: https://urlzs.com/kTf6

Very nice, yes I actually have the second case you posted 😂

That was when I was running the Raspibolt and the fan is definitely a nice option, but I like having the LCD

with a public IP same channels appear randomly by nodes using autopilot. It did not happen behind Tor yet, probably people using Tor not using autopilot.
P

i dont think those using autopilot are running behind tor unless they want to make some testing tbh
o
18:28

I rather strengthen the private side of the network. I think Tor should be the default.
18:29
My VPN does not support port forwarding, Tor solves that also
18:31
Anyway to connect from a clearnet node the Tor node needs to add it as peer. There is no restriction the other way round.
18:32
it works as kind of a spam filter also. No random dead end connections to LNBig or alike.

Yes, there are tradeoffs for now, but autopilot is less then beta, there is so much room for improvement. The idea is it is only your public key needed to participate, not the IP. It is an unnecessary metadata which is better not shared, so there is less chance of abuse.

connect to a peer either from the RaspiBlitz menu or RTL. Needs the nodeid and IP address.

09:08

See that you have a peer connection to everynode you have a channel with +some others. Without the peer connection the channel is offline.
09:09
If the IP of the peer changed or is behind Tor it won't come back online from his side.

This has to do with the current on-chain fees. https://jochen-hoenicke.de/queue/#0,24h When those spike a bigger part of the balance will be spent on the closing transaction fee. In this case the fees are likely much higher then when you opened the channel and also the channel is likely to be small. You can have look at the channel point (opening) transaction and the closing transaction in a block explorer (blockstream.info) to find about the details. Of you do please share the numbers with us.

if you run the same lndconnect command in the terminal with the option --image it generates a .png picture file which you can download with scp and open on your windows.

Hi again, I set up raspiblitz and it's running. I activated the TOR service. Now I would like to use on a local client Wasabi Wallet and make it connect to raspblitz. Have I got to disable TOR on wasabii, let both of them run it or what?

In reply to this message
luckily you cannot disable Tor on Wasabi :). Tor does not do anything on your local network, so you only need to point the Wasabi config file to your local RaspiBlitzIP. That is it. Wasabi will pull blocks from your RaspiBlitz and still broadcast transactions through Tor.

do i have any advantage besides saving traffic?
o
13:46
openoms
In reply to this message
good question, not really I think. Wasabi uses Neutrino-like client side filtering which means it pulls each necessary block (to look up your balances) from a different peer through Tor. Privacy is kept without a full node. Still if you run a full node on the same machine (localhost) it will pull from that automatically and you can point it to anywhere to try to download from a trusted node (like your RaspiBlitz).
C
13:47
CryptoMulde ⚡️
i dont care for traffic, if this would be my only advantage
o
13:49
openoms
The advantage is in security, that you know that you have validated the blockchain on your full node with software which was also validated o. a hardware you have put together yourself. This preserves your decision right in a situation with reorgs, UASF, forks etc.
C
13:49
CryptoMulde ⚡️
ok. i see the point now
13:49
i am relying on my code and hardware
o

So yes you should run a full node and use it as much as possible.

i even run two full nodes, but i was not able to connect my wasaabi to my node

indeed there is no easy way to tell if Wasabi is downloading from your node for now. This is a UX limitation and likely will be improved, but not high priority.

I would not open channels below ~500k satoshis. Currently it limits the maximum payment you can make/ route through that channel and your funds can be stuck if fees go up. See: https://t.me/raspiblitz/475

There's no exact max number because the amount of RAM used (mostly by lnd) depends on various things. lnd can use more or less RAM based on network connectivity for example. You can test it out yourself by just increasing num channels and keep an eye on available RAM.

No it's not. But the HDMI output will stop one the LCD driver loads. You can connect a keyboard to the Pi and hit Alt+F2 or Ctrl+Alt+F2 to open a terminal prompt to login. Then you can run 'ifconfig' or 'ip address show' to see the nodes IP address to SSH into it.

Hey guys! I understand when a node is offline/inactive that it is displayed red in lnchannels like the channel at the top of the list. But does anyone know what's going on with the channel that is red and states 'no response'? Is that something different to a node that is temporarily offline? It's been like this for a while and I'm not exactly sure what it means. Thanks!

There’s no clear answer for that. Maybe some incompatibilities with the version or software run by the other party and yourself or maybe he’s just offline for maintenance or some unexpected issue.

Whenever you plan to have a considered amount of sats in a channel you should have a lil bit of trust on the other party or at least know how to contact him/her in case something goes extremely wrong you know he wont cheat on you.

Download & install Winscp. Run Winscp and connect to your Raspberry Pi with admin and Password A. Navigate to /mnt/hdd/bitcoin/ and copy from the 3 folders from your Windows onto the Raspberry Pi.

Hey, I've created this tutorial, if your Raspiblitz showing the message "Login... " that means that it is connected to your router, so the wpa_supplicant.conf file was created properly. (I used wrong credentials once and raspiblitz wasn't happy).
This error looks like your computer can't find connection to the raspiblitz in the local network.

Troubleshooting:
check if a computer you are connecting to (ssh) raspiblitz is on the same network (same router, same wifi credentials). It shouldn't matter which software you are using (putty, winscp or mobaxterm). You also may try logging into your router and setting your raspiblitz IP as static, maybe the router is shuffling it somehow, the explanation is in my latest video. Don't hesitate to ask further questions, we are all here learning and willing to help! 😊

Hey guys, my node has been offline the last couple days and I'm trying to figure out what's wrong (LCD screen says the LND service is not running). I ran a debug report and there are a few things that look concerning. I'll break it up with a few screenshots so it's not just a huge wall of text. Any help would be much appreciated, thank you!

This seems to point towards a database corruption, which would also explain why we were unable to find the edge above even though it was successfully added.

open up a terminal (OSX/Win10) and connect thru SSH with the command displayed by the RaspiBlitz:ssh admin@[YOURIP] → use password: raspiblitz Now follow the dialoge in your terminal.

Hey Brad, have you had any luck with the “edge not found” problem?
B
20:49
Brad
No.
20:50
And the LND dev's weren't much help. They just gave me a code patch to apply that will attempt to ignore the error and continue on, but 1) I haven't rebuilt (compiled) the patch into lnd to test out, and 2) there's no guarantee that just ignoring the problem will work.
20:52
I have a feeling it's related to running TOR under certain condition. Because a few of us hit this problem when we enabled TOR. My node was working on v1.2 until shortly after I enabled TOR. But it's just a guess and might be a coincidence. Certainly other people have no problem with TOR.
20:53
In reply to this message
Do you know how to compile code patches?
20:54
you could try the patch they gave me (in the LND github issue)
KY
20:56
Kevin Yaraghi
I don’t know, but one thing I’ll say is that I never had Tor enabled at anytime and I seemingly have the same issue. So it might not be Tor related
20:57
At this point I’d like to just liquidate my channels (force close them somehow) and secure my funds to the onchain wallet. What would be the best way to do this seeing that I can’t get LND to start?
B
20:58
Brad
Mine only shuts down after LND finishes syncing. Perhaps while it's still sinking you can run lncli command to do it?
20:59
There is a window where I can run lncli commands.
21:00
so you might be able to let bitcoind run for a while and get well ahead of LND syncing, then startup LND and try to run lncli before syncing finishes and it shuts down again? dunno. something to try.
21:04
I usually keep one SSH window open and running sudo tail -f /mnt/hdd/lnd/logs/bitcoin/mainnet/lnd.log so I can see what LND is doing.
21:04
then in another SSH window you can run other commands like lncli
21:05
run lncli --help to see all the commands. I have very limite experience using it but google or searching the LND github issues also can help.
21:07
When I said "there is a window" I meant a time-window (perhaps). Where you can run commands before it shuts down.
KY

Yeah I get what you’re saying, definitely worth a shot
21:09
I will give it a try after I finish dinner

B
21:11

I think the command is lncli closechannel --force if LND allows it to be run.
21:12
perhas there is an "all" option for all channels? I don't remember. Again, use lncli --help to see all the commands and options or go find the LND docs.
21:13
👍
KY

Kevin Yaraghi
Yup I know the commands, but like you said I never to execute them in that short window of time

B

Brad
On my node I can def run them.... getchannelinfo etc. But only for a while.
21:15
i'm kinda hosed there because while I do have a channel backup I cannot find my seed phrase. So will prob have to say bye to my sats. Anyway it's only like $30 in my case.

B
21:18

You can run a channel backup using lncli too. That's what I did (again, in the window before it shut down)
KY
21:19
Kevin Yaraghi
Can you do that even when channels are not active? When I am able to use LND briefly, all the commands work but it shows all my channels as offline
B

I don't remember what mine looked like when I did it. No harm in trying it.

Kevin Yaraghi
Hehe yeah I hear you. I might try the LND slack group to see if anyone knows anything there

In reply to this message
I think I saw one non-blitz user in that LND issue but not sure. And I'm not involved with other projects atm so would not see/know if non blitz users are seeing.
10:21
Note however that I'm also running Raspiblitz on x86 (Intel) inside a VirtualBox VM, and it also hits the "edge not found" error after it finishes syncing. This is likely because it's caused by whatever improper state my blockchain and/or LND DB is in.
10:25
so my point is the problem does not seem specific to a Raspberry Pi. It's caused by whatever state my Pi was in when the chain/lnd data got written/saved to disk in an "inproper" way. And by improper I don't mean corrupted, but just the blockchain, Tx Index, and/or LN channel-state data.
10:28
It very well could be a bug in the LND code. I wish the LN dev's would look into it more, but I think because it's not being seen by any non-Pi nodes, it's not getting much attention. Plus, I imagine the LN dev's are very busy and have other priorities. The "edge not found" has been hit by "only" about 5 to 7 Pi nodes, so far.
KY
10:56
Kevin Yaraghi
Hmm interesting
10:56
By the way, I tried closing some channels during that "grace period" before LND attempts to finish syncing. I'm able to execute several commands but cannot close channels during that time

But if the "edge not found" error is caused by the state of the LND DB then my guess is it's likely the problem will persist if the LND folder is saved and used later. Oh, unless you are just saying to save it away in the event that a fix for this problem is found in a future release???

and this limit varies I think... LND will use more memory per channel under certain conditions... eg. connectivity difficulties to your channel/nodes.

13:53

also with payments made/routed more information builds up about the channel. There is no way to get rid of that for now without closing the channel. Not sure if those are affecting the RAM usage, but certainly growing the channel.db. The latter is on the HDD, so has plenty of space to grow.

you have to connect as a su user from WinSCP or give the folder permissions chmod +777

second ption is really unsecure and inadviced

I'm connecting as admin, I assume that was a super user

There are other options if you will use a fan. No need to have such a big heatsink. let me dig the link.

The Armor case has the advantage of being more protective, covering the board more, if you will not be using a case.

another one: this one the heatsink cools also the chip nearest the USB ports: https://www.amazon.com/GeeekPi-Raspberry-Cooling-Aluminum-Heatsink/dp/B07PCMTZHF/

Have seen at least 3 shops selling pre-synced RaspiBlitz-es. You could approach them for presynced HDD.
Or maybe get a fellow blitzer in your vicinity to make you a copy.

bitcoind has a parameter "assumevalid". Do you know about this?

-assumevalid=<hex>
If this block is in the chain assume that it and its ancestors are valid
and potentially skip their script verification (0 to verify all,
default:

The txindex=1 is also a very taxing computation, but it makes LND work faster if enabled

you can't make it faster with it, because it is enabled by default

I guess it doesn't do what I thought it does.

I thought it would allow ignoring blocks prior to the one specified. So it will still have to sync the entire chain?

hi guys, curiuos, is there an easy way to use my raspiblitz to get the chainwork from 100 blocks ago?
o

In reply to this message
it still validates the transactions to build the UTXO set and the txindex (with txindex=1), but not the signatures. After the assumevalid block the verification gets significantly slower as expected. There is no way to set the assumevalid height manually apart from modifying the source code.

so in my upgrade to 1.2 i forgot to add the wpa_supplicant file for wifi and now when the pi boots up it gets stuck on the screen where it is looking for an ip address (the LAN screen). Unfortunately I do not have ethernet to plugin, only wifi. Should I just hard power off the pi and add the wpa_supplicant.conf file?

edit/update: I plugged in a usb keyboard and tried to Ctrl+C out a bunch of times until it would (hopefully) give me a prompt. Now it just seems to have gotten stuck to the point that a hard power-down might be my only option :-/

how come my new raspiblitz node doesnt appear on 1ml.com ? my old node launcher does appear though..

for this node launcher, i've changed this port to 8735, not sure why is it still reflecting 9735. might be conflicting with my raspi which is using 9735. 🧐

My lnd was on a restart loop due to a corrupted channel.db I think, since it started fine when I renamed that file. This made the service start but I also think it made it backup and overwrite the channels.backup file that I didnt even know existed.. I guess I have now lost any possibility of recovering my channels?
P

@CryptoMulde yes, i went to sleep hoping it would resolve but woke up this morning to find that LND is definitely in some sort of error loop (751 restarts detected) and running bitcoin-cli getblockchaininfo tells me i'm still on block 577602 which is some time ago.

looking at the debug log for bitcoind in /home/bitcoin/.bitcoin/debug.log it seems to be related to tor. All the messages are things like:

regardless though, the raspiblitz project is fantastic...i've already introduced some others to it who in fact were able to get their nodes setup without needing support from the telegram group. Great work guys!

Tor is obviously much better for privacy as you are not advertising you IP address on the network. This bug was in the RaspiBlitz script, but not for long. Tor FTW

agree with the privacy part. but the disadvantage i see is that if people (who are not running tor) opens a channel to you, your node will usually appear offline which may result in unwanted issues, such as needing to force close channel, instead of a cooperative close.

Hey guys, so when I first setup my RaspiBlitz, prior to being advised I should open channels with nodes I'm in contact with, I opened some channels with nodes who immediately became inactive for a long period of time.

Does anyone know how long it usually takes for a channel to force close? Thanks!

a custodial wallet is just someone else's lightning node
(connected to a full node or running as a light wallet with SPV or Neutrino/client side filtering)

Well this sort of makes sense. The node needs to build it`s own view of the network and this looks like a standard lnd protocol call. It is a lot work for that little RPi.
15:59
In reply to this message
It should work, but I would avoid opening tiny channels. The fees to close might be more than 20K sats in some situations. In that case you would have no defense against the other peer cheating with broadcasting old states. Not like I would expect tippin.me purposefully doing such a thing. One big channel toward a well connected, stable node (like tippin.me) works much better than a lot of small ones.

The best methods to use you HW wallet with your full node is running an electrum server (EPS or electrs, see in previous comments) or use the Wasabi Wallet and point it to your RaspiBlitz`s IP in the settings (only bc1 - native SegWit addresses are supported in Wasabi for now).

It all depends on your time preference, you paid 90 sat/byte for that tx which is extremely expensive for opening a channel. Whenever you open a channel if you are not in a rush try setting your own fees. Right now you could have easily got your tx for less than 10s/b in a couple of hours.

question is how to protect the info from malicious editors

so what exactly should the doc contain @Satochi? is anyone obliged to edit it or do they have to approach admins to manage the doc?

That’s my main concern, if its editsble by anyone that could turn into a mess.

the "anyone can edit with the link" doesn't cut it
07:41
editable by admins?
C
07:41
CryptoMulde ⚡️
we could create the group for node operators and they request edits in the doc and only 10 admins can edit
o
07:41
openoms
it will be laggy, but still useful

But that’s the thing, then there‘s always have to be at least 1 of online in case someone wants to add his/her personal peer?

anyone familiar with telegram bot creation? basically this shouldnt be too complicated.

what we need is a bot that gets started and after that you have two buttons "want to give capacity" and . "need capacity". if you click "want to give" bot will ask you for amount and node information. you fill and finish

if you click "need capacity" it will show a list of all the capacity "offers"

In reply to this message
Here's a thought. I assume the biggest goal of the Raspiblitz project is to lower the barriers and learning curve as much as possible to get people (1) running their own full node w/LN, and (2) send and receive sat's on LN. So maybe a feature could be that there is/are some "trusted" and well connected rBlitz nodes we can automate opening channels with via the scripts. Perhaps have the scripts prompt the user if they want to connect to a rBlitz node. Kinda just thinking out loud here. But the main goal I'm thinking about is ... try to hide the complexities of what's happening under the hood. Ie, try to make Raspiblitz as "stupid proof" as possible. This is the direction LN itself is going, or needs to go.

for sure optional since they are "trusted" nodes... so people should choose to trust or not. But anyway, w/LN the amount of $ is relatively small so OK to be a little reckless :)

what channel size would you recommend?

as the protocol and the network matures, routing will pick up and more and more people will keep significant amounts on LN (not recommended on a RaspberryPi and single HDD!)

Receiving liquidity is generally not free because people would tie down their bitcoin in the channel. It has an opportunity cost. There is 1 node (apart from LNbig) Iknow which connects back if you open a 2million+ sats channel called stackingsats. Please see the list in the pinned post.

2500 mA is not enough. That was what probably caused the data corruption on your HDD. Get a new one above with the power above 3Ampers (I use 4A)

Reflashed the sd card and just tried again, it started up with upgrade/recovering and was doing things for about 20 mins then rebooted and now gone back to failing during the fdisk check on the hdd, so I'm guessing the hdd is corrupt then?

I've got a new power source on order to avoid this again. But I'm slightly confused as I used the current power source to set it all up etc and the pi and hdd were on for 2 full days over the weekend and it didn't cause any issues, but I run it fully complete for 12/18hrs and it causes an issue, what gives
17:57
Also I'm guessing that as it seems the hdd is corrupt, I've basically got to format it and start again
o

In reply to this message
Powering the HDD through the Y cable from another power source would solve this problem even without the new power supply. You can use any phone charger for example with a 5V USB output.
Most SBC-s are made to power only low consumption USB devices like a mouse, keyboard, USBpendrive. The 1A power need of the HDD needs to be added to the RPi-s requirement. An SSD would consume much less power as well.

RaspiFefo
In reply to this message
but if I put close channel as the other party finds out?
P
19:20
PinkPanther
If tje other party is online theres no need to force the channel hence you can close it cooperatively with a very low fee like 1sat/byte
19:21
You only want to force close a channel when the other party is not cooperating and your funds are simply frozen.
19:21
You dont want peers that are most of the time offline. It reduces your ability of routing thru your node and routing your own payments.

The bottleneck while syncing is often the DBCache. By default it's set to 1gb and if you check activity monitor you'll probably see it's maxing that out
07:20
Set it to something like dbcache=4096 if you have the ram should help speed it up a bit

The channels stay as before if you switch to Tor. You can even switch it off afterwards if you want. It is like changing IP address and also needs a restart.

Thank you. Silly question; if I’m running behind TOR, can anyone on the network still utilize my node to route their payments to the final destination? Or do they need to be peers with me?

You route payments the same way. Once a channel is established the knowing the IP address is unnecessary.

to be clear your node will still remain public on the Lightning Network even if the IP address is obfuscated by Tor

👍🏻
o
08:31
openoms
and you will be able to open channels to tor nodes without their interaction
08:33
one thing though. The IP address you have advertised is already recorded by the network and cannot decouple that history from your public key.

But still it will not be obvious where the node is, only where it was.

my IP changes reliably if I connect a new router or just change the MAC address on my existing DD-WRT one

the capacity in the channels does not change, only moves

the whole payment can only go through if they can send a hash image (a message) through from the other direction first. It is all or nothing, the payment cannot get stuck en route.

So you have a direct channel with each other which is offline? You could still pay routing through others. Check the payments for multiple hops. Make sure you appear as peers on both of the nodes and if not add the other as a peer.
02:14
In reply to this message
First of all make sure you are not running the same lnd wallet on two nodes at a time, because they won't be in sync and can advertise old states.
Other thing must ask. Are 100% sure that your passphrase is correct?
Idea: could try restoring on the same version of lnd you created the wallet.
We will look into this issue on the weekend together with lnd devs. Might DM you further.

In reply to this message
all your channels and funds are recovered from the HDD with a fresh SD. If you feel that things are messed up it is probably the most straightforward. Run a backup before just to be extra safe: https://github.com/rootzoll/raspiblitz/blob/master/FAQ.md#1-recover-lnd-data
04:58
run: /home/admin/config.scripts/lnd.rescue.sh backup

follow the instructions of the script.

This will create a lnd-rescue file (ends on gz.tar) that contains all the data from the LND. The script offers you a command to transfere the lnd-rescue file to your laptop.

yes, it is just another place where you have it in case the HDD packs up. Once the node is running again, the channel states in the backup will be outdated, so can be disposed.

The are copies of the lnd dir on the HDD in the lndbackup folder, on the sd card and this way externally as well. There is also an option to set up Dropbox to be synced with the Static Channel Backup

I have a question.
This morning, as you can see in the image, I had x satoshis ... I did not make any payment or charge, I did not add or close any channels ... the only thing is that a channel was opened to me.
but now I have less satoshis, as you can see in the second image
15:57
Did the exit rate (channel close) increase and recalculate?

Hey guys, I've been having frustrating issues trying to get up and running, and think I may now know why..........., seeing as I have 2 Raspberry Pi Model 3 B' s and have been using one for this node build project I think I may have made a fundamental yet basic mistake!!! Not having the Pi Model 3 B+ . What do you think ?

It's been like tantalisingly close with the 3.5" screen initially working , and saying no HDD, then the with HDD screen gone white, reflashed several times still white screen, then SSH into it to have it say no HDD but there is one.........so back to basics and realised perhaps model B+ is the only pi that will work and not to predecessor model B? Help please 😤😤😭😨😢😱😬😬

This little SBC is not designed to power an external HDD, only low power devices. It works on the 3B+ only because the power of all four USB ports can be used at one due to some clever wiring. Otherbise and USB2 would not power the HDD even on a PC.

You could try a Y-cable to connect the HDD to introduce some extra power with a phone charger or some other USB power source.

HDD is a WDBYNN0010BRD-WESN, and a net search doesn't state power requirements other than usb ! I've used a pi supply of 2.5a and a Qualcomm quick adapter 3.0A.

I thought the power requirement could be written on the device itself, but it is probably the standard.

The Amp ratings on the PS's don't mean much. They can deliver the amps but if they also sag under 5 volts during load, they won't work.

Even the wire gauge (thickness) matters and can cause voltage drop if too thin.

Good morning #blitzers. FYI about the "edge not found" error:

That said, someone still needs to test the code patch that attempts to ignore the error... ie, just to see if it works.
Other than that, it seems there's no other option other than performing the node recovery process. No magical solution to the assumed database corruption.

Hey @openoms hoping you could please be of some assistance?
I can get Electrs working when it's running manually via the '1_electrs_on_RaspiBlitz.sh' script but I am unable to setup the systemd service correctly.
I get the error:
"Failed to start electrs.service: Unit electrs.service is not loaded properly: Invalid argument."
When I run systemctl status I see:
"electrs.service: Service has more than one ExecStart= setting, which is only allowed for Type=oneshot services. Refusing."
I've rebooted the Pi and still getting the same error.
23:40
That was when I think I installed it as a root user. I've since reinstalled it as the Admin user and I get the following:

Failed to start electrs.service: Unit electrs.service is not loaded properly: Invalid argument.
See system logs and 'systemctl status electrs.service' for details.

What happened that you probably have a double entry in the electrs.service file because it was installed with root and admin as well.
Find the file:
sudo find -name electrs.service
cd to the directory
sudo nano electrs.service to edit
delete the double entry
You can see what it supposed to be in the install script.

13:07

In reply to this message
It all depends on your needs, i have atm like 23 channels. Inbound liquidity is always welcome altho if you run behind tor you wont get free inbound liquidity from nodes running autopilot lets say. Outbound as much as you are confortable with regarding your needs. Number of channels also depends on your needs so if you want to route payments you need many id say. Regarding the size anything below 250k doesn’t make sense to me but this is personal choice. Hardware wise i have had up to 30 channels and the pi worked perfectly.

I'd like to access the bitcoin RPC API from my raspiblitz

I've got my home router with port-forwarding enabled (in order to external nodes to be able to connect to me) so I don't know if binding 8332 on something other than 127.0.0.1 would be safe

In reply to this message
the port forwarding on your router only counts for calls from the outside. If you want to work on your LAN than instead of localhost (127.0.0.1) you need make bitcoind to accept connections from your LAN network (192.168.x.0/24 - or whatever your LAN is)

14:23

well I guess that binding bitcoind to 192.168.1.x wouldn't really hurt since the funds are really managed by lnd, right?

In reply to this message
correct. You should have your LAN reasonably secure running a node on it anyway.

ok just setting the bitcoind.rpchost in lnd.conf and rpcbind in bitcoin.conf didn't quite work

I mean both bitcoind and lnd seem to be running

Hi guys.

Yesterday with RTL I opened a 300 000 sats outbound channel with a random fellow peer.

I paid 1sat/b (223 sats) and confirmed after 8 hours.
Now I see that the outbound channel is 265 458 sats and not 300 000 sats. Why is that?

When I decide to close the outbound channel can I set up customs fees like I did when I opened it?

You always “commit” some “fees” to the channel in case the other peer is offline for a period your are not comfortable with and you want to close the channel unilaterally.

Aka, ‘lncli closechannel -force’

Yes, they can without limitations. Will be different channels. Fewer big channels are more useful than many small, due to only able to move the amount of the highest directional capacity in one channel.

lnd seed password is used as a passphrase of your LND seed. only seed would not be enough to recover onchain funds, you need seed+passphrase

I'd like to take advantage of the full bitcoin core node that runs on the blitz to validate my on chain trezor transactions as well as a lightning node. Don't trust, verify and all that.. Latest version of wasabi supports the trezor and can be configured to use a full node by adding the local IP of the node to the config file to validate your transactions. So I'm thinking that will probably be easier than say installing EPS on the blitz by following Stadicus instructions to pair with electrum. Plus, there's not exactly a lot of compute headroom on the RPi. Anyone have a view?

I think I found out the reason for the wrong definition shown in red.
I would like to know which ports Netcat checks for status colors.
I used the command nc -z -w6 xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx PORT; echo $? for ports 8333 and 9735 what other ports are needed for status 0

The problem is related to the lack of support for the function NAT Loopback / Hairpin NAT

I enabled the option Hairpin NAT on my router, now I check the status of the command in the ssh determines 0 if I start with the status of the screen, if I also check the status of the ssh then the screen is yellow. On RPi status is still red! o_O

Pretty sure the answer is going to be rebuild, but my BTC core stopped yesterday on my blitz, log said something about invalid data in the block. (Ironically not long after I'd upgraded my power supply from 2500mA to 3000mA) Tried rebooting, but won't boot, says give root password to enter maintenance mode. I think the disk has got corrupted somehow but don't know enough (read basically any) Linux to either troubleshoot let alone fix, so I'm thinking of blowing it away and starting again (hadn't funded it yet, so no restore of either on off chain funds required) But thought I'd raise it here first in case someone has seen this before and managed to fix it?

Same here. Lnd got corrupted when taking it to 0.6.0, but even though I had a channel back up, I must have written the passphrase on my cipher seed down wrongly so couldn't restore. I've also written off those satoshis, my small contribution in reducing the overall supply in circulation. I wonder whether we'll be the pizza guy of the lightning generation in another decades time? 😀 Apparently 0.7.0 reduces the risk of the type of corruption I experienced, so waiting until that drops before risking any further funds.

I seem to have sorted it out partly now. I used ssh to copy over the chainstate contents again and it accepted they were all there this time, but now I have another issue lol

So once I done copying over the chainstate contents I rebooted the pi and was expecting to see the final raspiblitz set up is done screen but instead I got another error
17:23
So I read through it and at the bottom it said waiting for lnd password so I entered it and got confirmation back that the lnd wallet was unlocked
17:26
Then it just sat in the ssh terminal but I could see my hdd light working so I thought I'd wait a few minutes and then look at the debug output file and low and behold both bitcoind and lnd are running and syncing which you can see here http://termbin.com/u7xl

looks bad indeed. Quetion is how are there multiple partitions on your HDD? Was the disk formatted by the Raspiblitz during the setup?
N

yes, the disk was formatted by raspiblitz v1.0
02:40
I just updated to v1.2

but the channels were open by v1.0

If you get to the command prompt try this : /home/admin/config.scripts/lnd.rescue.sh backup

follow the instructions of the script.

This will create a lnd-rescue file (ends on gz.tar) that contains all the data from the LND. The script offers you a command to transfere the lnd-rescue file to your laptop.
02:48
check if there is a backup on the SD or anywhere else:
02:49
cd /
02:49
sudo find -name channel.backup
02:49
sudo find -name lnd-rescue-*.tar.gz
N
03:26
Nelson
cool, I managed to create that file
03:27
what should I do with it now?
03:27
the message is a bit confusing
03:27
BEWARE: Your Lightning node is now stopped. So its safe to backup the data and restore it
later on - for example on a fresh RaspiBlitz. But once this Lightning node gets started
again by 'sudo systemctl start lnd' or a reboot its not adviced to restore the backup file
anymore because it cointains outdated channel data and can lead to loss of channel funds.
o
03:48
openoms
this is your lnd directory backup. Copy it off to your PC
N
03:49
Nelson
I already did so
o
03:49
openoms
with that you cab restore your funds and channels in another RaspiBlitz or a new install
03:49

N

Nelson
yes, I think I'll have to replace it
o

type: lsblk to show the partitions
03:51
When you replaced your HDD, make sure you have a good power supply you can just run:
/home/admin/config.scripts/lnd.rescue.sh restore
to get everything back once the new setup is fully synced

slowing down means that potentially everything done on your RaspiBlitz wil take more time. Things happening on other computers (like payment routing, mining etc) will not be affected. As seeding function is not tested extensively it is hard to tell how it could affect your node. It depends a lot on your position in the network and internet connection speed as well.

Mind that you would need to download and verify the whole blockchain even if it's pruned. That takes weeks on the RPi.
12:19
The only way to have a pruned node is to verify the whole thing first, working through the whole blockchain from the beginning and deleting the old blocks as they get to the end of the pruning window after got verified.
12:33
In reply to this message
the IBD (initial block download) process is likely to kill an average USBdrive or pendrive quite quick (if it can ever make it to the end) . Those are designed for a couple hundred of rewrites only. First they get slow then read-only.
HDD-s have none of this problem, SSD-s are likely to last for >5 years.

try reactivating Tor. If you are stuck, backing up the lnd directory and starting off with a newly burned SDcard is probably the quickest way to sort it.

search for .log files. If the HDD works well on your laptop it is very likely a power issue. See above. Don't try further with your current RPi setup because it would likely damage the disk. Get a better power supply or separate power for your HDD

Does adding peers help the network? Or is it just to open lnd channels?

You want to open channels to create routing liquidity. Not like the mainchain where just 'running bitcoin' supports the network.

Hi, again! I think I fixed the problems with my node.

1) I cleaned the SD card and installed the image of Raspiblitz on a new one (I did not touch the blockchain on the SSD)

2) Updated lnd from 0.6 to 0.6.1 beta

3) Macarons update made

4) I reconfigured the router to the correct subnet 192.168.161.x

5) The problem of strange bitcoin strings has disappeared (my router / Loopback NAT mode with masquerade of connections to the bitcoin port was enabled on my router). I turned it on to display the status on the screen (accessibility of peers) and determine the status of network 0 for operation. Now I have disabled Loopback NAT when the status is red, but the ports are open. The status definition on the RPi screen is now red.

I'm confused by the line (TLS handshake error from)😯

The node is offline. So both your incoming and outgoing direction is offline. If you cant communicate - you cant send or receive from that node. What you see on the screen is your balance. So even if your peer comes online you can still not receive since the entire balance is on your side.

Hoy, folks. My node seems to freeze occasionally. It will stop while refreshing to the main menu. Also, my Zap wallet (IOS) will stop connecting.

I thought this was a power thing as I periodically get a power warning when running hardware tests. But I've gotten two new power supplies, both rated 5v 3a and both from reputable makers. They both return ocassional errors, but more often than not return 'your power is fine'
06:46
I reboot and then it is OK for a while and then seems to freeze again. The Raspberry Pi still works and I can control c into the terminal, but the raspiblitz part seems to freeze.

If anyone also lost their funds un the update lo 0.6, (Cipher seed) I could restore the on chain sats to an elctrum wallet using a couple of web utilities.https://www.bitfantastic.com/mnemonic-phrase-demo/

Pasting the seed and the password D in the lower part you get the root key that can be pasted on Ian Colemans Bip39( BIP32 Root Key Field) https://iancoleman.io/bip39/

Using BIP84 derivation path you get as many adresses and private keys as you wish. Private keys can be imported on electrum. Please download the web utilities and disconnect from internet before pasting your seeds. Channel balances gone but on-chain funds recovered

Question for everyone... How long on average does it take for your payments to route/settle?
11:18
Reason I ask is because I recently configured a Linux server and now have a LND node running off it. The payments seem to route 5x faster than payments from the Raspi. I'm assuming this is due to hardware constraint of the Pi but then again I didn't think LND was that hardware intensive.

run a hardware test. When running hot the RPi throttles down to 600 MHz vs the 1400 MHz, which is sufficient CPU power. Disk IO and memory is slow, as this is minimal viable hardware only. For a routing node I would suggest better hardware.

(Got heatsinks and a new case with fan coming and do away with LCD) Going to try a powered usb hub as well but dumb question. Do I plug my HDD into one of the usb hub ports (so usb b end into HDD and usb 3 end into hub) and RPi into another hub port ( so usb 3 port RPi to usb 3 hub port) ?

Think of the RPi as a small computer. Plug the USB hub to it and plug the HDD to the USB hub.
Plug the power supply to your USB hub.
You need to power your RPi as well through it's microUSB port.
You can either use a separate power supply or can attempt to use a USB-to-microUSB cable coming from the hub.

No, it is not useless! Don't you use it now? The RPi is what is minimum needed and many functions of the RaspiBlitz are developed for and optimized for the RPi. It is a great way to try the Lightning Network, learn the basics and participate fully in both networks. But if you want more serious applications and extra functions , including running a routing node, electrum server etc. , there are more advanced options.

Another Noob question: do you need to have the LN active or if you at least are able to get the full node running does that help the network and validate transactions? Want to make sure I'm not biting off more than I can chew as I'm hesitant on some the LN configuration aspects.

When norms ask i just tell them it means blockchain, and when they first ask for bcash i tell them its a scam that wants to steal bitcoin’s and blockchain’s brand... i add that it usually gets mixed with bcc (ticker on binance) which is bitconnect. After all that shit they want it never have never asked for bcash. :)

The HDD is brand new, it's a toshiba I just bought today and it works perfectly with my laptop. I do think it draws more power than my old seagate though and that might be the cause.

how to connect electrum on desktop to raspberry?
C
04:59
CryptoMulde ⚡️
Pro Tip: run Electrum wallet with the command line arguments --oneserver --server localhost:50002:s. This stops Electrum connecting to several other servers to obtain block headers; and locks Electrum to connect only to your server, disabling the GUI button to stop accidental connections. This helps avoid a user accidentally ruining their privacy by connecting to public Electrum servers. Another way to do this is to open Electrum's config file and edit the lines to oneserver=true.
o
05:32
openoms
In reply to this message
electrum --oneserver --server RASPIBLITZ_IP:50001:t

use :50002:s when SSL connection is set up as well
05:34
in the Electrum directory edit the config file to make the setting persist
add:
oneserver true
server $RASPIBLITZ_IP:50001:t

Considering that i never updated to the latest version of lnd hence i dont have the format asked for the blitz to make a recover of my lnd wallet i can always replace wallet.db & channel.db after i finish the installation and recover my lightning funds i suppose @openoms ?
08:53
i tried to pack the whole lnd folder on a .tar.gz file and copy it to /home/admin but that doesnt seem to work
08:54
so i diceded to recover my wallet only using the seed start from scratch, maybe increase the lookup_window if dont recover onchain funds and finally replace those 2 files i mentioned above… Is my process thoretically correct?

In reply to this message
it would be very uneconomical to store all the previous channel states for every channel of many nodes. It is planned to offer the watchtower service for a fee in a later version to limit connections/ incentivize running a watchtower server. You can always provide the service for yourself and friends for free.

HDD-s are actually more reliable than SSD over years of usage. You need to provide sufficient power to the SSD as well. My Samsung EVO 960 SSD for example even more power hungry than my HDD-s, needing 1.1 A.

I’ve just had terrible luck with the external seagates and toshiba hdds in general so I was thinking of using this enclosure ORICO 2.5 USB 3 External Hard Drive Enclosure Casing for 2.5 inch 7mm/9.5mm SATA HDD SSD Support UASP SATA III Max 2TB Tool-Free Design - Clear https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01LY97QE8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_-o8dDbKY24K4T and throwing in a lower cost SSD instead.

I am also using a similar looking disk case without any problem. It also works out cheaper than the ready made external HDD-s/SSD-s.

The problem is usually with the RPi-s finicky micro USB charger port and charger/ cable quality. Generally it would be complicated the monitor your voltages, but can use a multimeter or a USB device like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B06XFZFZX6

Have you ordered a 5V 3A adaptor? If not you should order one directly. Most of the issues are related to not having enough power.

Does it matter what kind of 3A adapter you use? I see the recommended is an adapter where the cable is permanently attached to the adapter, but could you for instance use a smartphone quick charger with a detachable USB cable?

quality matters. Stable soldering is better then detachable connections. So an adapter is generally superior to a smartphone charger.

In reply to this message
not tries yet, was only announced on Monday. It has a different base OS, so will need a different image. No one is maxing the channels out, but the RPi4 will be more capable. It uses a different, 3A USB-C power adapter by default

Hi, I recently fell victim to the bug where syslog logs filled up / to 100% and after clearing the logs my raspiblitz has been re-indexing the blockchain for 2 weeks and is only 35% done. What can I do to speed this up? I tried copying a fully sync'd blockchain from a Windows PC, but it still re-indexed from scratch. 🙁
19:29
Any tips appreciated 🙂

In reply to this message
did you have txindex=1 on your windows? If you copy it properly and your HDD is nit faulty or low on power there will be no need for reindexing
V
19:35
Vince
hmm...not sure if txindex is set to 1. Would it still be over 200GB in size even if txindex wasnt set to 1?
19:37
should I let it continue to sync or would it be worthwhile to upgrade to v1.2. My node has been offline so long I assume the small amount of funds in my LN channel have been forfeited?
o
19:40

In reply to this message
make a new SD with v1.2 for sure. Your funds will be automatically restored if your lnd directory on the HDD is intact. Regarding the blockchain downloading it via torrent is the recommended option (far quicker than reindexing)

if you are trying to build a RaspiBlitz you are using the wrong image. All you need is here: https://github.com/rootzoll/raspiblitz/blob/master/README.md
You will need an SDcard adapter to write the image to the card on your PC.

Cant link that correctly, but i guess in the guide there’s a section for the wifi configuation?

Create a file wpa_supplicant.conf on the MicroSD card with the following content. Note that the network name (ssid) and password need to be in double-quotes (like psk="password") country=[COUNTRY_CODE]
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev
update_config=1
network={
ssid="[WIFI_SSID]"
psk="[WIFI_PASSWORD]"
}

Replace [COUNTRY_CODE] with the ISO2 code of your country (eg. US)
Replace [WIFI_SSID] and [WIFI_PASSWORD] with the credentials for your own WiFi.

💯 this. Always run your own backend for security and privacy. If not connecting to your full node (Electrum server) use wallets with clien side filtering (like Neutrino). Such wallets are Wasabiwallet and the LND Lightning App. Do not use Electrum wallet with random servers. Use one you or of a friend's server if you don't run one yourself.

In reply to this message
Say you open a 1M sat channel with a peer, the channel capacity will be 1M sats and the full balance with be on your local side.
If that peer then opened a channel back to you then you would have x2 1M capacity channels that are lopsided with the local/remote balance.

When following Openoms procedure, the channel capacity would be double at 2M sats and both parties would have 1M sats on the local and remote side.
00:55
Think that makes sense...
01:07
Benefit is you get a larger channel capacity with the same outlay of sats

Ok I ordered a SD card reader writer and formatted my SD card but now when I plug in my pi the screen doesn’t light up. Before it lit up but I couldn’t do anything. Now the red light in the back shows that there is power. I feel frustrated I have even gotten to the cool parts of the pi bc I can’t even do the basic stuff 😑. I am sure there is any easy fix I just don’t know the solution. TIA

Does anyone here keep an updated backup of the blockchain on a separate external drive? If so, do you just keep the blocks, chainstate & indexes? Or do you keep it updated with the full Bitcoin Core QT?

the payment speed will be dependent on the network more than on your node. Latency in every hop, bandwidth limitations are all more significant than the amount of calculations done by your node. If the hops are touching multiple continents you are even limited by the speed of light.

Reason I ask is because I have a node running off a Linux server that sends payment significantly faster than my Raspi. The only difference I can think of is the hardware, each have a similar number of channels

Unless there’s some sort of bottleneck with my router at home, since the server is being hosted at a data center

I’d have to go back and check but I remember an instance where both nodes had to go through a similar number of hops (3 or 4 IIRC) and the server managed to send the payment in a couple seconds where the Raspi stalled for about 35 seconds

If you contact your peers to force close, that will return the offchain balance to an onchain address after a day-week depending on the timelock set. Will cost them onchain fees, so do it when the mempool is low or force a low fee.

People I have some great news here. And also to the admin. The peers can indeed force close the channel if you lost channel.backup (what happen to me) Just contact them nice and hopeful they will listen.

So glad I found this chat! And thanks devs for raspiblitz!

I've got a few questions, I hope i can get advice.

I recently closed a channel via the RTL interface, the channel was active, the peer online. I clicked the chain icon and closed the channel. The circle 'working' icon showed for about 40 seconds with no result. I hit f5 to refresh and the channel showed up in pending forced closed channels, therefore paying a high fee and leaving me with a 144 block wait time. Why was this? I wanted to close Co operatively...

From: https://medium.com/@suheb__/how-to-ride-the-lightning-447af999dcd2
" If the channel was inactive at the time of closure, your funds in the channel are not be available to you immediately, and you will have to wait for some time (depending on the time-lock-delta value of the channel) to get the funds back in your wallet."
13:36
So closing an active channel will result in a cooperative close, closing a channel with inactive will be a force close.

it could have been that your peer could not be contacted even of showing up as online. It is difficult to debug, when relying on a GUI. Detailed logs are needed to find the root cause. Could dig into the lnd logs maybe.

i see.. the lncli listchannels command works..

you know the raspiblitz menu has automatic mobile wallet connection settings? thats where i mean. since mobile wallets operate differently (no static IP, Ports open and forwarded) im assuming that connecting your node to them is more difficult... ive requested inbound capacity from a different node and to BLW and is was a bit different. thats all.. my understanding is limited at this point, obviously...

for the RPi3 (because of the 1GB RAM) I recommend using EPS instead of Electrs.
The negative with EPS is that you need to setup every master public key (x/y/zpub..) or bitcoin address you want to monitor.
Electrs is a full Electrum server (like ElectrumX) but more resource intensive.

@openoms another 2 things ive noticed, after channel funding transactions are confirmed the channels show as inactive. I have to rebbot to acivate them. Is that normal?

Also, im connectiong to my node using my dynDNS domain name and port 8333 with my mobile wallet. It works fine after the node has just booted up, after an hour or so and opening my mobile wallet a few times, it can't establish a connection to my node to sync and check for transactions. maxconnections is set to 40 and im never seeing more than 32 when this happens so it's not that..

Is all of this worth posting at github?
o

In reply to this message
there are a lot of questions here.
1. is not normal. Try adding your channel counterparty as a peer amd the channel will become active.

2. Which mobile wallet? 8333 is the port bitcoind is using by default to connect to it's peers, it os not used to connect mobile wallets. Are speaking about bitcoin peers?

1.Yes, I always add them as a peer first.

2. I'm using Bitcoin Lightning Wallet. The dev indicated that, to connect to your own trusted node node, you'll use the IP (dynDNS domain name) and port 8333. So your mobile wallet can sync with the network to check for on-chain transactions, not LN for this particular issue.
o
06:03
openoms
In reply to this message
1. Check you still have your channel counterparty as an active peer after the funding tx has confirmed. If both peers are online and you are connected the channel should be online.

2. I did not know that you can connect BLW like this. The RaspiBlitz is running Bitcoin Core v0.17.1 with mostly default settings. You could test the BLW connection with another bitcoin node to see if it is a problem of BLW, the network setup or the RaspiBlitz specifically. Could open an issue at the BLW repo to gather info from others who try this.
S
06:11
Sim
In reply to this message
1. Yes, this is why I don't understand it. I always connect to them as a peer first, the funding transaction confirms, the channel shows as inactive for ~30 mins or so, I reboot and its active... I am seeing routing activity so I'm connected, my node shows up on 1ml.com... perhaps it also relates to the channel closing issue I have...

2. Thanks, ill look more into it..

It occurs to me, perhaps all of these things are related? some very specific connection issue. I haven't changed any settings anywhere though. My BLW will connect to my node to sync and look for on chain transactions, but after a while and I've opened the wallet a few times, it struggles to connect. I'm sure my dynDNS is set up correctly. I'm using freedns as in the readme file..

Have a strange issue: blockchain was reported as corrupt, I rebooted and found the raspiblitz (hardware bought at fulmo 2018) unresponsive to network: no IP adress (according to my fritzbox), no ping no ssh. Flashed the SD card with the current image. Booted ok, ssh worked, but raspiblitz wasn't ready yet because of stuff being installed (RTL?). After this finished successfully, the final reboot led into the former limbo: no network, no ssh, no ping response. I can see the boot through HDMI monitor, it stops at "Sound Card". Sounds familiar to anybody?

The Rpi3 will be kept compatible wit the default RaspiBlitz services, but the RPi4 (and other alternatives like the Odroid HC1) are capable of much more as it is obvious from the hugely improved specs.

switch off the port forwarding of 8333 and the firewall will block it as well. I have no idea about the refresh rate of bitnodes. The dyndns is not related to this.

dydns is used to connect your remote wallet apps. There is no need for port forwarding if the node is behind Tor, so you might as well switch it off.

stop all the services with sudo systemctl stop electrs/nginx/certbot
and you can run the electrs manually to see the output with:

Still ongoing with the recover mission here. I can't understand a thing. When a channel is forced closed, the funds are sent back to the btc address that are affiliate with the AEZEED seed (BIP84).

So the channel is forced closed, I can see that the funds are sent back to a BIP84 address, but it is not mine. The AEZEED seed web utility never generate that address.
15:17
I can see that the AEZEED seed is generating the other addresses (like the onchain funds).
15:18
Is it possible that the forced closed channel funds are sent back to another address that is not generated from the AEZEED.

Hi peers. I need some help.

I have 2 nodes raspiblitz and casa node.

I tried to open an outgoing channel from the the raspiblitz to the casa but before the channel opened I decided to force close it and now I have a limbo balance on the raspiblitz side.

Below is the transaction id

hi guys I have a question, hopefully sombody can shed some light,

Just closed a channel using;

lncli closechannel --sat_per_byte 1 <channel point>

It worked although a block explorer shows that 3.624 sat per byte was paid for the fee instead of 1 as intended.. Any reason why?
16:40
In reply to this message
since you force-closed it, youll have to wait for the dispute resolution delay to expire, what do you have that set as? For raspibltz, the default is 40 blocks as far as i can tell. Im a novice at this point though, may want to get confirmation from admins

Im not even sure if you will recover your funds only with the seed on zap, there is a huge controversy about how the seed is generated and wallets where you can actually iported

If you don’t have the channel.backup and only the aezeed (24 words) than all the funds are lost, even if they are closed by the other side and returned. This issue is not been resolved by Raspiblitz. So please keep that channel.backup with you.

now run zap now I must select recover wallet or should I copy the wallet.db file to some folder?

Assumption: If I open i channel with capacity 100,000 sats and push 50,000 as remote balance simultaniously as i do that, I must have 50,000 sats of inbound capacity from another channel to do that. Correct?

In reply to this message
In an attempt to open a balanced channel, ive considered using;

lncli openchannel --node_key <node_key> --local_amt 100000 --push_amt 50000

Since the pushed amount will be local balance for the other participant, which they can claim by closing the channel, this only makes sense to me if you somehow draw those 50000 sats from inbound capacity in another channel. If not, then yes, youre giving away 50000 sats... which doesn't make sense and shouldn't be possible at least not without a warning....

You could open a channel with a service you plan to use or buy something from, like bitrefill - first you open the channel and it only has funds on your side, so you can not receive payments. Then you purchase something from bitrefill and voila there will be funds on the other side and you can receive something as well.

hi all. i'm setting up my first raspiblitz, and am in the begining of a really long torrent download. i've got another computer onsite, running win10 and btc core with txindex off . can i still copy that db and save some days of torrent download time?
18:43
the docs imply it must be on, but i saw rumor that it isnt needed
18:46
and if so, is there a doc that can help me with the syntax of the scp command in powershell? or furthur guide me on running the copy command from the win 10 computer?

F
20:43

In reply to this message
The practical benefit is you can import any address/private key/public key into your node and it will see the history of that key with a rescan, if you are pruned and import a key the pruned node wont be able to see the history if it isnt currently storing that portion of the blockchain
20:45
i just think its always better to have a fully validating node storing the entire blockchain, if you got the memory space then why not?

Hey guys, my raspiblitz node keeps freezing or corrupting db files.
It can work for 24h then stop working properly.
Not sure if its heat (the room can get very hot when in not there)

run a hardware test from the menu. If it is not your power supply it is likely that your hdd is close to fail completely. Make a backup on another computer to be sure. See the FAQ.

it will change after some time, but your IP will remain in the history. Your public node address is connected with it now. The way is to set up a new lnd wallet from behind Tor or without the port forwarding active.

Thanks man. I did setup using v1.3 but for some reason didn't use the TOR option when setting up.

Trying to set EPS up following Stadicus instructions. I've su to bitcoin user as per instructions but cannot mkdir /mnt/hdd/ electrum-personal-server, permission denied. Any ideas? I really am clueless when it comes to Linux. Well, slightly less clueless then when I started down this rabbit hole, but still considerably out of my depth🥺. I presume because on blitz, HDD is owned by root. So should the mkdir command for the EPS folder be run as root and owned by root or do I need to chmod after creation? And if so, with what parameters?

In reply to this message
write to the email address they provide on 1ml.com. Reciprocating cahnnels to Tor nodes is no difference to clearnet nodes. Once there is an active channel the nodes are peers as well. Ask for liquidity on lnbig.com. Opening channels to you is usually a paid service as someone is locking bitcoin there (opportunity cost+ technical risk #reckless) .

Came across something interesting and thought I'd share..

https://www.eyeboot.com/gekkoscience-bitcoin-usb-stick-miner-newpac-btc.html

Imagine every node out there running one of these also. I know, you wont find a block! But, since almost everyone that runs a node currently does so for altruistic reasons, this could be a way to drastically defend against miner centralization and also as a safety net for the network should one huge miner suddenly go offline.

Currently there are 9,084 Lightning nodes and about 9,500 full nodes. Now, I'm not sure how much overlap there is between these figures - i.e our raspiblitz LN nodes are also full nodes so ill just use the 9,084 figure.

9,084 x 90 Gh = 817,560 Gh
or
817.56 Th

Which is equal to 0.0014% of the total hash rate of the network. Not that impressive, I know, but still something. And if 10x more nodes come online and run one of these, then 0.014% of total network hashrate would be comprised of these extremely decentralized nodes.. that's also assuming total network hash rate doesn't grow to outpace the nodes coming online.

I'm guessing it would be trivial for users to install the drivers for this via the terminal and even to have the functionality implemented via the raspiblitz main menu under the services tab.

Just thought it was interesting anyhow...

If I have the dynamic dns and tor options checked on, does that make the node a public/tor bridge in that it’s both publicly resolvable by ddns and also has a hidden service for tor nodes? Or would it break something? I know it defeats the obfuscation of tor

What's the recommended amount of channels to have? I assume few and large channels are preferable to many small ones?
P
10:20
PinkPanther
it all comes down to your own needs but yeh most of the times small channels are pretty useless for almost everything
E
10:21
Espen
What then is the recommended size of a channel?
P
10:22
PinkPanther
some people recommend 500k, others 1 milly, others 200k… I mean we are reckless, the question would be: how much you can afford “to lose”?
10:22
personally i never open channels below 250k
E
10:25
Espen
Ok, thx. I currently have approx 1,5 mill in total, would you recommend dividing that into, say 2 channels?
P
10:25
PinkPanther
i’d say 3-4 its ok, but again, it depends on your needs, maybe you wanna buy a hoodie using lightning and 400k sats are not enough for that… you know what i mean?
E
10:26
Espen
Yeah, I understand that people have individual needs
10:28
Because you can only spend however much is in one channel at a time, correct? So if I have two channels of 500k each, I can't really spend 1 mill in one transaction?
P
10:28
PinkPanther

precisely.

your outbound balance (of a channel) will mark the max amount you can spend

When it comes to other nodes routing payments through my node, is there a difference between my inbound and outbound capacity?
10:31
Like, how do you set up your channels to be a good routing node?
P
10:33
PinkPanther
it depends on your connectivity
10:33
ovbiously the more channels with higher capacity you have the better, it will allow other nodes to connect to your node automatically and route their payments
10:35
Say a node randomly connects to yours using autopilot… if he somehow connects to only 2 more nodes and your channel policy and connectivity are better you will more likely route all his payments

@openoms while installing electrum personal server, after installing rust, downloaded and built electr correctly i set up the password b incorectly hence i had to exit the script cuz it started giving me some warns about not getting a reply from bitcoind

In reply to this message
This is the situation as I understand it. However, I'm asking, since a channel may be 6 months old (as i have) and different Bitcoin will be within it than when it was opened, is LND able to verify the authenticity (not fractionally reserved) of those Bitcoin currently within the channel? If so, how?
o
07:24
openoms
In reply to this message
you cannot make transaction on LN where new sats are created. This is verified at every transaction at you cannot take out more bitcoin than it was deposited in the multisig transaction which is channel funding.
You can only monitor the whole bitcoin supply in the base layer building up the UTXO set while verifying the blockchain.
S
07:32
Sim
In reply to this message
Thanks for your reply. I guess that I was concerned that more Bitcoin was able to enter into L2 via another implementation (such as c-lightning) than legitimately existed in L1, and that Bitcoin may be closed to on-chain funds into L1 via LND...
o
07:35
openoms
In reply to this message
all lightning implementations are following the same rules specified in the BOLTs and they must be compatible with the base layer bitcoin protocol otherwise it won't work. It is based on maths, not a permission of some arbitrary entity who can bail out banks and alike.

The screen is an option. The RaspiBlitz software works perfectly without it. It is just a nice addition other projects don't have. I like the screens I have and would like to keep them. My main node though is running on an Odroid HC1 which hasn't even got a screen option. If you don't like it, just take it off.

the official power supply works well. For SSD, HDD just go for the cheapest known brand. 500GB is enough, but 1TB will take more services.

My HDD keeps getting corrupted. Separate power, fan keeping CPU cool. Runs ok for a couple of weeks then breaks. Internet connection has been dodgy and did have a brief powercut the other day. So I'm guessing it's probably one of those but I don't want to commit funds if it's going to keep falling over and needs rebuilding so often. Is this common, have I got a dodgy harddrive or is this just not the best set up for me if prone to intermittent internet/ power cuts?
o
07:14

In reply to this message
it is not uncommon to make a HDD fail on hard resets/power cuts. If there is a surface damage it will keep failing. You could run a surface check in windows after reformatting.
Would recommend using a UPS to avoid the problem if power cuts happen in your area.

most likely power related
12:07
did you have hard resets recently?
R
12:07
Rolf
hmm it is an original raspi 4 power supply... no hard resets just a fresh build
o
12:08
openoms
RPi4? That should power the SSD sufficiently
12:09
I would reformat the disk and run a surface test before trusting anything on it
12:09
you can do it in windows
R
12:09
Rolf
yep new raspi4 and a samsung 1tb ssd pro
o
12:09
openoms
and then just start from scratch
R
12:09
Rolf
so no surface test availible
12:09
but maybe bad sector
o
12:10
openoms
connect it to your PC to test
12:10
there are no funds on it, right?
R
12:11
Rolf
yep all not so super reckless :)
o
12:12
openoms
good :)
R
12:13
Rolf
so i want first to save my blockchain... what files does the blitz need after i set it up fresh... didnt't have the bandwith to load it compelte fresh
o
12:14
openoms
what OS is on your PC?
R
12:14
Rolf
i have mac and windows 10
12:14
choose your weapon
12:14
or at the moment it is connected to my synology which can read ext4
12:14
over usb
o
12:14
openoms
both need some new software to read EXT4
12:14
right
R
12:15
Rolf
i go then with the synology
12:15
just need the right files/folder from you please
o
12:15
openoms
the blockchain is in the /bitcoin dir
12:15
if you can save all that might be able to spare a resync
R
12:16
Rolf
the complete bitcvoin dir?
o
12:16
openoms
yes
R
12:16
Rolf
ok so i will
12:17
also a fresh sd card install?
o
12:18

In reply to this message
yes, would make sense if you nuke the HDD.
12:18
a fresh sd just builds up everything again. Stuff like ssh keys and lnd

o
12:21
openoms
In reply to this message
you say no network. Please give details.
g
12:23
goodc0re
so, I can't ping it or ssh to it, network doesn't seem to initialize when booting, so it has no IP, and the instructions to scp the backup also didn't include an IP because the script couldn't find one I suppose
12:23
I tried ifup eth0, it can't find eth0
o
12:23
openoms
you could try running ./XXprepareRelease.sh to remove the ssh keys and reboot
g
12:23
goodc0re
ifconfig -a shows eth0 but without IP / netmask etc
o
12:23
openoms
also reboot your router
g
12:23
goodc0re
ok I can try that now
12:24
my router has a fixed IP set up for that MAC address
12:24
so it will always get the same IP
o
12:25
openoms
In reply to this message
you mentioned moving to a new location. Remained in the same LAN?
g
12:25
goodc0re
yeah same LAN
12:25
just another room
o
12:25
openoms
delete the fixed IP setting as well
12:26
might be the problem that tge RPi tries to ask for a different one
g
12:26
goodc0re
ok
12:39
hm, what I do is, I enter the root password
then su admin
then cd
./XXprepareRelease.sh

and it shuts down, white screen
o
12:41
openoms
yes, tells what it does and shuts down
12:41
ok to restart now
12:41
like pull the plug
g
12:47
goodc0re
I had tried it before, same thing
here is where it asks for maintenance:
o
12:47
openoms
did you try to boot once without the HDD?
g
12:48
goodc0re
yeah I did try as well
12:49
I scrolled up a bit, here is an error:
o
12:50
openoms
that is a disk error during fsck (file system check)
12:51
you could bypass it if you press CTRL+C during boot when fsck starts
12:52
otherwise try to backup your node because the disk is failing
g
12:53
goodc0re
I just tried , didn't work, I got the timing right, but it didn't do anything to press Ctrl-C then
12:53
How do I get to the backup file without ssh now I tried to mount a USB stick, didnt manage to do it
o
12:55
openoms
try running: /home/admin/config.scripts/lnd.rescue.sh backup
12:55
and copy the resulting file
g
12:55
goodc0re
I got the script to create the backup archive already
12:56
let me see
12:57
yeah I got two backups already
o
12:57
openoms
the file you need to save: /home/admin/.lnd/data/chain/litecoin/mainnet/channel.backup
12:58
that is on the sd card, so you can just read that on your PC
12:58
and foloow the restore guide when you have a running system again: https://github.com/rootzoll/raspiblitz/blob/master/FAQ.md#1-recover-lnd-data
g
12:59
goodc0re
I'm afraid that blitxz wasnt on an lnd version that creates the channel.backup yet
13:00
it has only the macaroon stuff and wallet.db in that location
o
13:02
openoms
then you would need to backup the whole lnd directory from /mnt/hdd/lnd
13:02
copy that to the sdcard
13:03
and exchange it back when you have a running blitz again. Make sure to stop lnd before copying back with: sudo systemctl stop lnd
g
13:04
goodc0re
my mac only mounts /boot from the sc card, I have to find my linux machine and try maybe
13:04
eh the problem is the HDD doesnt mount
o
13:06
openoms
In reply to this message
yeah the HDD corruption seems to be the main problem
13:06
unfortunately without the SCB or channel.db the seed only able to recover your on-chain funds
13:07
could try powering the HDD with external power too with a Y-cable or powered USB hub
13:07
or just connect the HDD to the PC if there is a linux machine available.
g
13:08
goodc0re
yeah I will try that next so wish me luck : )
o
13:08
openoms
the mac is also able to read EXT4 after installing some software
g
13:23
goodc0re
ok I copied the entire lnd folder and the lnd-rescue* file to the SD card now
13:24
I saved it to the linux machine
o
13:27
openoms
good job. the lnd-rescue is basicly the encrypted lnd folder
13:27
so you should be able to restore your cahnnels from it
g
13:32
goodc0re
Im just checking the file system, trying a repair, got an error
13:33
so I'll try to format it I guess
o
13:51
openoms
way to go. Run a full check again afterwards
g
13:53
goodc0re
ah connected it to the raspi already, blitz booted, running 1.1 still, what script should I run to get it going again
13:54
still cant ssh to it though hm
13:56
oh I can ping it, then its probably another host key
14:00
thats not it, deleted it from known_hosts, connection refused
its on the 30 welcome screen asking me to Log in
o
14:03
openoms
just make a new clean SD card
g
14:05

does it matter if its not the same version

The issue was that there was a switch inbetween (modem -- switch--router--router) that somehow received a static ip. The ports being forwarded had to be set for multiple instances in order to be forwarded corrrectly. Also had to restart and change some dhcp/firewall/ settings to make sure it gets passed through all the instances FRP helped figure that out since i did not realie how many stations are in the "middle" listening.

Does anyone know if it is safe to basically cp -rf /mnt/hdd/ /mnt/newhdd without any issue?

I am guessing the dd command would be a safer choice because I understand it to be a sector by sector clone rather than a file copy, such as:
dd if=/mnt/hdd of=/mnt/newhdd
00:41
I’m not an expect though and don’t recall the switches
o
01:16
openoms
In reply to this message
that is right. you will need to use dd i order to not have the diak ID (UUID) change
01:18
run:
/home/admin/config.scripts/lnd.rescue.sh backup
first to backup your lnd dir in case it goes wrong
01:19
that stops the services as well so the dd command should be able to unmount the hdd
01:21
will need to mount the new hdd as well with mount /dev/sdb (check with df if the newhdd will appear as sdb)
01:23
maybe it would be easier to just backup as above and start with a fresh SDcard. Use the setup script to copy the blockchain form the old HDD and restore the lnd dir from the backup
01:23
in any case you will need external power supply for the second HDD because the RPi cannot power two disks from the USB
01:25
you could also clone your disk on PC running Linux with the DD command. Could use clonezilla or similar to boot the PC.

Hey, so I am running 1.3 and all works actually nice. I am connected to zap, joule, shango and so on. However, I cannot get fullynoded working and get that nasty error of bitcoin-cli listtransactions.
It seems a little like the wallet has been installed with the --disable wallet flag. If that is the case then Why?
I try to get it running. changing the disablewallet withint the bitcoin.cong file is not the solution and returns the sam error.
When I stop the service in command line bitcoin-cli stop and start bitcoind -daemon then I get the error that he doesnt have permissions to write...
05:31
From there I tried still with stopped service: sudo bitcoind

It says it upgrades the wallet, the I reboot but nothing really changes, still same errors.

So how do I go from here and how do I activate my bitoin core wallet
o
05:34
openoms
the bitcoin core wallet is not used in RaspiBlitz therefore disabled in the bitcoin.conf. If you set it it to 1 and restart bitcoind with:
sudo systemctl restart bitcoind
it should be active then.
H
05:35
HoDling Erik ⚡️
I understand, the core is a part of the blitz though and I do not understand why it is not just an option running future setups
05:35
IT is still a nice wallet and gives additional control over your funds and functionality to your raspiblitz. So whats the thinking or reasoning behind it?
o
05:35
openoms
bitcoind is just serving as a backend for lnd
05:36
lnd has an onchain wallet as well
05:37
there is no point using multiple wallets when what we need is to be able to transfer in and out of channels which cannot be done directly from the bitcoin core wallet for now
H
05:37
HoDling Erik ⚡️
I see. Its just not really necessary you say. However, have you connected fullynoded for like additional info about the node for your phone? I just think it is nice to manage with it. Anyway I will try what you send me. Thank you alot
o
05:38
openoms
In reply to this message
I have no iphone, so did not try fully noded
05:39
what would you like to manage on it if the wallet is not used?
H
05:42
HoDling Erik ⚡️
I can ot join with fullynoded because it is connecting to the core wallet which needs to be active
o
05:43
openoms
or you could use the bitcoin core wallet on the raspiblitz as well as described above. It can be useful for payment verification, but I would avoid keeping funds on it on top of the BTC on Lightning.
H
05:43
HoDling Erik ⚡️
The app itself gives you a lot info and possibilty to manage that additional wallet if you want/need to and also some more info about your node than like mobile wallet apps might give you like shango or zap
05:44
So I enabled the wallet right? Set it disablewallet=0
05:45
you said to set it to 1 just reconfimring, becasue it would set it to be disabled then

you are right. Could also just comment the line out with #

Switched to tor. Nyx complains about being run as root. I didn‘t find a solution for this in the raspiblitz context. I whish this would be in the faq.

Apropos tor: shouldn‘t „after switch to tor, generate a fresh wallet to disconnect completely from your non-tor history with your isp“ be enforced somehow?
o
13:29
openoms
In reply to this message
Do you think it is an issue to run nyx as root?

Enforcing for sure not, that would risk people losing funds . We will have the option to start Tor from the initial sync in v1.3. That is right that if you make your node public on clearnet the IP will be tied to your public key in any database which recorded the network at the time. Do you think this should be made more clear?
HH
13:56
Hauke Hess
Enforcing was the wrong word, absolutely! But „nudging“ registered too late in my brain 🤦‍♂️

Maybe a short „how to tor“ can be added to the faq, adressing both the root-issue (that I cannot judge myself, its a warning message in nyx which sounded serious) and the „unload your funds to a save place and generate a new wallet with new seedwords before continuing“

I never tried with an LTC node, but this issue seems to be related with RTL. Which version of RTL is it? You can update the version by modifying the bonus.rtl.sh file.

What I think is that the build fails when I try to upgrade RTL.
Where can I see what version of RTL is actually compiled right now, the log doesn't show it.
02:08
ah the web GUI shows it when clicking on the icon on the very top right hand corner, so it does show 0.4.4-beta
02:08
and git shows I am on the master branch

could be that the npm install --unsafe-perm worked out

Lndmanage you can actually specify the fee limit, so you can say like "don't rebalance if the total routing if is more than 20 sat"
10:58
You can even "split" the re-balancing funds, the parameter is called "chunksize"

Almost, it's more like, if you want to rebalance 10k sat, but no channels is that wide, you can set it so it does 2 x 5k sat re-balancing

Lndmanage is more flexible AND good verbose

Hey, I recently fooled around with my working setup to try some stuff on my own. Well, now I can’t get tor running anymore. When I switch from dns to run behind tor, it tries to start lnd after reboot but I only get into the loop and it says that the address is already been taken.

So I thought to myself, because I recently build other nodes for friends which do have a newer image of raspiblitz on their machines and don’t have the problems that I would just flash the card with the newer image too. I thought just like in an update from 1.1 to 1.2.

Take out sdcard, flash the new image on it (current build of 1.3), put it back and the data should’ve been safe on the ssd. After booting it should ask me to recover that setup. Can someone confirm that this works or has a smoother way? I can still access everything and was able to revert to dns from tor. Could I also just get the new image via wget in ssh while running?

Thanks
o
03:07
openoms
In reply to this message
For extra safety run:
run:
/home/admin/config.scripts/lnd.rescue.sh backup
first to backup your lnd dir (so you can recover completely with channels online to a different system)

Then as you described the update process is to burn a new SDcard.
1.2 is the latest stable, can try the 1.3 RC1 if you don't mind that need to install RTL (and NodeJS) manually.

I don’t mind it. Got it running 3 times now for friends with a build of 1.3 I compiled just 3 days ago.

The build that’s online to download from around the beginning of July is the one running on my machine though since that was the first I tried it with.

Ok, thank you. Will backup of course and then see where this takes me. I just want to run it behind tor. Location with dns is too accurate :)

we should probably modify the RPi3 optimized settings in the bitcoin.xonf for the RPi4 depending on the RAM size. 3-4 daya is OK IMO. Limiting can be:
- Internet connection
- using a HDD vs SSD

- Tor sync will be slower

how does updates on that vm works then when I cant switch the vm hdd
B

you can switch the HDD. The VM appliance includes only the OS drive (what's normally on the SD card).
you have to add a .vmdk (drive "shim") that connects your external USB HDD to the VM. I'll post a link to the info...

I had problems to mount that image to a esxi server

it just said only supported in virtual box

normaly it works with a ova file... but there is some problems with that - oracle is fine in that way

failing or passing the power test in your case is just a question of having the voltage over a treshold. It does not make any difference if we lower the number and then make it pass

did you update lnd to 0.7.1 previously? Do it again, you cannot restore to a previous version.

backup all the lnd info to your PC with:
/home/admin/config.scripts/lnd.rescue.sh backup
Once that lnd-rescue file is safely saved burn a new SDcard.
Format your HDD on your PC of you like to clean that as well.
Start as new and when synced fully synced again, run:
/home/admin/config.scripts/lnd.rescue.sh restore
to restore all your LN info (funds and channels)

Hello guys, this week I am going to create my first Raspiblitz, with RP4 4GB RAM + 512GB SSD, can't wait!
07:17
Would you suggest me to install v1.2 and wait for the final release of 1.3, or just go with v1.3 beta?
o
07:22
openoms
In reply to this message
for an RPi4 you need to go with the 1.3 RC1 or build the sdcard yourself from the v1.3 branch. The 1.2 i not compatible with the RPI4 as it came out before it was released.

Oh I see

Which of the 2 solutions is better? Or are they equivalent?

In reply to this message
the manual SD build is more up-to-date, but needs some technical inclination

follow this: https://github.com/rootzoll/raspiblitz#build-the-sd-card-image
with Raspian buster image and build with the command:
07:31
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rootzoll/raspiblitz/v1.3/build_sdcard.sh && sudo bash build_sdcard.sh v1.3 rootzoll

Keep in mind if you want to run Tor that it's not guaranteed to work. Various people have found it does not run.
On the Pi4 some have gotten it to work, some not.

I'd wait to upgrade to 1.3 unless you want to help us debug problems. :)

What means "manually build 1.3 image on Tor" ?

this is my main node updated with a new SDcard which has been manually built from my 1.3updates branch.

The changes have been merged into rootzoll`s v1.3 branch since

So if you build the SDcard manually from rootzoll v1.3 branch it will have lnd 0.7.1 and bitcoin 0.18.
This is what I have advised above.

o
09:25
openoms
In reply to this message
I have never dealt with that one yet
B
09:28
Brad
The error we hit has to do with the Tor service changing ownership of the dir /run/tor
09:28
the blitz script sets the owner to 'bitcoin' but Tor changes it when rebooted.
09:29
changes it to debian-tor
09:29
and this user "debian-tor" is set in that config file I mentioned above.
09:31
so for some odd reason @darealdevil's Pi4 is doing this too - perhaps due to his unknown install order/state.

there was certainly no Tor issue on the 1.3 RC1 for anyone else

I will try playing with my VM as per that step-by-step guide and see if I can get Tor running. If so, should shed some light.

I saw that Stadicus' doc for installing Tor on Raspibolt had this command. I just ran it on my VM and rebooted. Lets see.

syslog shows Tor permission denied for dir /mnt/hdd/tor/web80
CryptoDog invited CryptoDog
B
10:51

'/var/run' is a symlink to '/run' sor '/var/run/tor' is '/run/tor' and Tor probably chown'ed it to user "debian-tor" so not accessible during install?
o
10:54
openoms
In reply to this message
we should override this chown activity from Tor somehow.
B
11:01

After running that usermod debian-tor bitcoin command that error is gone from the syslog so at least one error has been removed.
11:02
the error "/run/tor is not owned by this user (debian-tor)"
11:03
from that error, I think it's obvious that user is running some processes - in addition to user bitcoin.
11:04
any my guess is this is why the "permission denied" error for the /mnt/hdd/tor/web80 dir.
11:05
that dir is owned by user "bitcoin" and being accessed by "debian-tor" is my guess.

08:55
In reply to this message
Keep an eye on your "read-only file system" error. If it keeps happening it may indicate you got a bad drive. One of the commenters on the Amazon link you sent said he installed LinuxMint OS and it went read-only after some hours of use. Others said LinuxMint was working great. So some chance you were unlucky and got a bad drive - but remains to be seen.
08:57
Oh, you said you've been using this drive for a while?... on other 2 nodes? if so, prob nothing wrong with the drive. Hard to believe it would be failing, from previously working, in such a short time, though not impossible.

In reply to this message
I am glad that you are conducting this experiment, but there is just too much stress waiting for when the card fails. We are speaking of literally putting money on it.
Using an industrial grade SDcard that size with any insurance of it lasting years would cost multiple times an SSD. Speed and heat dissipation is also a factor where SSD-s are clearly better.
In other projects we speak about RAID5 setups with 6 SSD-s, allowing two disks to fail and still maintaining renundancy, ECC ram to avoid bitflips even during a sun flare etc.
It might be fine to use an SD, just not make it a routing node or any kind of server where things depend on it or would result of heavier usage like an electrum server or watchtower.

Is it the same guide for those connecting to a rbpi?
F
04:16

Well you can deduce what you need to do. Its just ssh credentials and rpc credentials
04:16
You need to know your ssh username, password, port and IP for your raspi.

Then you need to find your bitcoin.conf file
04:17
And get or create the rpcuser and rpcpassword
04:17
The rpcport will be 8332 for mainnet
04:17
And thats it
04:17
If you build from source you can use Tor V3 which is pretty cool.
P
04:17
PinkPanther
So for those running on the pi it will only be adding the 8332 to the .conf right?
F
04:18
Fontaine
No need to add that
04:18
Its default

Great, thanks guys. Will try it out
F
04:19
Fontaine
But obviously you wont be able to use it as a wallet. The new update has block explorer features so its more useful even with wallet disabled
04:20
If you want to use it as a wallet, just delete the “disablewallet=1” from your bitcoin.conf

Let me know how it goes! If you have questions can always ping the Fully Noded telegram.

Yes im really interested in trying the explorer but it would be cool also to use the wallet for my zero link changes from wasabi... at the moment im using green for those ‘pennies’ but i wouldnt mind using my own node for them too.
F
04:24
Fontaine
In reply to this message
For sure. Actually its totally compatible with wasabi, you can import your wasabi xpub and use it to build skeleton transactions and as a watch only
04:25
Generate receive addresses, manage utxos etc
P
04:25
PinkPanther
Amazing
F
04:30
Fontaine
Best thing to do is first create a cold wallet in fully noded. Then for wasabi xpub import, you will need to input the master fingerprint, select BIP84 in the import settings, also specify the correct range (for the derived address indexes), toggle on “add to keypool” then scan your wasabi bip84 xpub. After that you can specify a higher range for your change addresses and toggle on “import as change” and scan the same xpub again so your nodes wallet keypool only consists of your wasabi wallet addresses.

PSA for Raspberry Pi 4 owners who bought their heatsink case from Geekworm!

I just happened to check that the case and thermal pads were in proper contact with both the ram and the cpu. There was about 0.5mm gap between the case/thermal pad and the ram chip meaning that I wouldnt be getting any passive cooling of my ram. To solve - I placed 2x extra thermal pads on the bottom half of the Geekworm case (there is a square block protruding which was useful for the pi3) which supports the board to stop it from flexing and now there is proper contact between both the case and the ram+cpu for maximum cooling efficiency.

Hey there, is there a way to get control of my raspiblitz outside of my local wifi (for example from my mobile phone over the mobile internet) without having to setup a ssh tunnel or a dynamicDNS?

@openoms Yeah it's confusing. I think the background process runs as "tor" or "_tor" in Raspbian and as "debian-tor" in Debian10. That's apart from the "bitcoin" user. I think different processes with those diff users are accessing some of the dirs and I'm now wondering if Debian has some service that is more strict about dir ownership/access rights. There are these services "apparmor" and/or "selinux" that may be playing a part. I still don't have much visibility into the problem.

Read the mixed reviews - there are two different versions ("gaming" and "compute"). Won't feel like an SSD for sure. If the blockchain DB could be held in the flash memory cache (versus the blockchain data) it would prob speed things up. But does it? That would be great if it did.

Do you know if 1.3 rc5 is UAS save or just other new features added?

In reply to this message
it has nothing to do with this UAS problem, but has a couple of new features. Change in Tor setup and adjusting dbcache according to the RAM size.
For the USB cables I think we just need to use proper ones for the SSD-s, which are supporting UAS.
R

I think cases which dont support uas work

uasp and uas is the same here, or?

why overcomplicate things? The ones on the list are labeled as supporting UAS(P) as well. And they do it properly.
12:20
just can't use the cheap or old stuff with the new RPi4 unfortunately

this is not bad driver implementation, but a new default protocol

the fault is on the side of the cables IMO

I have a problem: after a power cut, my raspi hangs at the boot screen with the following message:

R
13:01
Rolf
the 9% is stuck or is it still counting?
G
13:02
GreenGecko
it seems to stick at 9%, gave it a few minutes, then attached the external keyboard and pressed Ctrl-D after which it booted into the interface.
On the web I read it may be related to /etc/fstab, so I entered "nofail" to all 3 entries in there, but that doesn't seem to change anything.
I just worry that a) a drive may be corrupt or b) I can't enter remotely anymore after another power cut when I'm away…

yeah, it can be the drive. If it is stuck try to boot without the HDD plugged in.

can run fsck to check for errors

df - h or lsblk to see what is mounted
13:07
and yes, if you can obtain a backup it would be best to write a fresh sdcard
13:09
usually the SDcardvis the weakest link (corrupts earlier than a disk)
Also the /boot is on the SD, so that would explain it
13:09
if you look into the shopping we now suggest buying and "endurance" SDcard for this reason

I think it can be made to work. We'd just need to create an apparmor profile for Tor and the /mnt/hdd/tor files we are accessing. But for now it's easier just to remove it from the install.

did you download the blockchai on your RaspiBlitz or PC?

it is most likely that the partitions are messed up

with the RPi4 and HDD it should not take more than 3-4 days to download and verify the blockchain (SYNC option) on the device itself
06:28
a windows prepped HDD won't work because of the different file system (ext4) linux is using

I can not get to the command line! I am using the USB-C 3A universal power supply from Pimoroni. But I got failed power test when I started the install even if I ran the test 5 times. So it could be the power supply that is bad? I sent a mail to Pimoroni and they are now sending me a new original power supply. Great service from Pimoroni! So maybe I should let this alone until I get a new power supply and start over again? I have the blockchain on the USB drive. Should I format the USB hdd and download blockchain again?

you are certainly best to change something before starting new again. I would write a fresh SD when got the new power supply and see if the HDD works then. The data on it might be still corrupted if it got undervoltages. In that case you will need to format it either with the Blitz or on a PC.

There is no indication to the user to wait longer or any instructions for them to follow...obviouslly waiting a little bit and reloging back in if you don't have a screen will present you with node progress but perhaps we can give some command line instruction or guidance if this happens

Been running for months on RPi 3b+ without heatsink, it’s fine. It is however recommended with a heatsink or better, the heatsink-case that is recommended in the RaspiBlitz shopping list

What power supply are you using? Sounds like you should get a different one.
Normal heat sinks won't help much on a Pi 3B+. The "armor" heat-sink case works much better.

Raspiblitz does power tests that Raspibolt does not. This is to try to avoid data corruption problems that sometimes happens with inadequate or marginal power supplies (voltage variances).

we use the voltage result we got on the first test RPi4-s. If the voltage is lower, the test fails. I use the original RPi4 3A PS and have no problems. Pleae take not of your SSD-s power requirement and post your hardware test results so we can see if that is the problem. Otherwise just retry syncing. Are you using torrent or SYNC option? SYNC is recommended for the RPi4. Takes 2-4 days to finish.

I don't have the X825 only the x820 (RPi3 version) and I use the official white RasperryPi 3A power supply to power the board through the RPi4, just like with a SATA-USB adapter. It passes the power test.

It has this feature of using an extra power supply, so it can power the RPi4 through the GPIO. That function was quite useful for the RPi3, because it's weaker USB power, but not needed for the RPi4 IMO.
Also this internal power lead running to the GPIO would take up the space from the display, but if you got the box as well, the GPIO diaplay is not your interest I guess.

They are selling two versions - with, and without a fan. Without a fan CPU throttling is likely so not recommended.
And keep in mind if you will use a GPIO connected LCD (versus HDMI connected) you will need to figure out how to get power to the fan.

Did we not come to the conclusion that this case without fans is not sufficient cooling for the Pi4 during IBD?
The CPU will throttle without a fan, no?

it works ok - 72 is in the range of non trottheling. when it sits on 53 later and you have no moving parts that stop working at some point always, this is a doable treadeoff for me

From the testing I read the Flirc no-fan case performs better but with that you cannot use the GPIO unless you connect using a ribbon cable. https://twitter.com/fluidvoice/status/1157246294890549248

IMO if you don't walk around with it HDD-s are actually more reliable than SSD-s
17:01
no moving parts are nice, but the RPI4 needs active cooling
17:02
60-80 degrees is acceptable (like won't damage your board) , but can't be recommended due to throttling

The Flirc case he beat on pretty good in that stress test and the temps were fine.
I might get that one and mod it by cutting the side of it to allow a 90-degree right-angle GPIO pin adapter.
Not sure yet. I don't have any big problem with a fan.

if the fan fails you have constant max tempreture on it

Which Seagate drive is it? It's not uncommon people report voltage issues with Seagate drives. You might need to use a drive case with it's own power or have it plugged into a powered USB hub.

I don't like this type though because doesnt' have it's own cable - which can be difference between workign or not. The cable quality does matter.

My guess is that your Seagate drive is extra power hungry. Try using a powered USB hub between the drive and your Pi4. This one was reported to work pretty well: https://www.amazon.co.uk/SuperSpeed-Individual-Switches-Charging-Splitter-USB-3-0-hub-15w-AC-adapter/dp/B07B2HJG8P/

But like @Fluidvoice stated... if you buy a usb-c power supply without direct attached cable... you realy have to search for the right one, couse this is an raspi 4 usb-c issue. I used the anker 1,8meter cable which works fine till now.
AB

So adding another cable will be a little messy. I want to keep this clean and thought the whole point of the 3A power supply was it would power whatever is connected. Anyone tested different USB drives? Can’t recall anyone with this issue on Pi3 so is the Pi4 much more power hungry?
AB

According to this -> https://github.com/rootzoll/raspiblitz/issues/727 the Apple 61W USB-C should work fine but

Certainly the Pi4 uses more power than the Pi3 but your issue is most likely that Seagate spinner. I have seen other people with problems of Seagate HDD's pulling too much power for their notebook's USB port - requiring them to use a powered hub.

Perhaps the drive pulls more power when connected to a USB 3.0 port (Pi4) versus a USB 2.0 (Pi3) port.

It just occurred to me that your keyboard is probably not being recognized hence why control-D and passwords do nothing. If you type CTRL+ALT+F2 , CTRL+ALT+F7 , and CTRL+ALT+F2 does anything change on the screen? ... just to check keys are received.
13:14
Also, it might help to enable SSH and WiFi by editing the SD card and adding /boot/SSH and /boot/wpa_supplicant files to it as per this link. After that you can SSH to it via WiFi (skip the burning SD card part): https://desertbot.io/blog/headless-raspberry-pi-4-ssh-wifi-setup
13:14
That's if Ethernet is not working for you. If it is, then just add the SSH file to enable that.

Wondering if somebody knows the answer to this.. after you connect to a peer and publish the transaction to open channel with them.. and if you set a low fee and the channel takes a long time to open.. if the peer has disconnected from you (which I've noticed happens after a few hours) and the transaction to open the channel confirms after the peer has disconnected from you, can you just reconnnect to the peer to have the channel become active?

Took me a while to work out how to add the relevant commands to a shortcut to ensure it opened single server TCP 50001. Clearly this is largely due to me not knowing what I'm doing, but it might save some other similarly " technically constrained" people running into the same issue

Create a shortcut of the .exe. In properties, update Target: "C:\Program Files (x86)\Electrum\electrum-3.3.8.exe" --oneserver -server 192.168.1.12:50001t
Obviously the path, electrum version and local IP for the blitz are specific to my setup, so config is basically Target:"#PathToExecutable" --oneserver -server #BlitzIP:50001t

You're right! I was just reading it from the shortcut and it's not easily visible to the naked eye, but when I pasted the entire syntax into notepad, sure enough, it's there.

Hello Raspiblitzers!

Why is the Raspberry Pi 4 on the Shopping List the 2GB model? Wouldn't you recommend to buy the 4 GB one? Or is the trade-off between price and benefit just not worth it?

Hi, the sd card is an special endurance one and the smalest one has 32 gb

the 2gb raspi 4 is the best entry price for a fullnode - if you want to run more on it and want to be future save go for the 4gb version.

Hi, I am still trying to find out the "low voltage" issue with my Pi4. Since i was unable to run raspiblitz without the USB drive (I never understood that) I installed NOOBS on a new SD card. I am trying to find out if this is really an issue. How do I test the voltage on NOOBS? I plug in the blockchain USB drive but get no power warning.

In reply to this message
Cool, thanks for helping the RPi4 research. You can run the same test on the Noobs Raspbian as well, I just give the commands. Would suggest to open web.telegram.org on your Pi to help with the copy paste
06:07
Run (copy paste the whole next command):

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rootzoll/raspiblitz/v1.3/home.admin/config.scripts/blitz.stresstest.sh && bash blitz.stresstest.sh test1.txt

Run the test without the HDD and then with the HDD connected.
06:08
You can copy the results by selecting with the mouse and pressing CTRL+SHIFT+C. Paste it here.
06:09
If attaching the HDD makes no difference in the voltage results you can ignore the powertest error and carry on installing the RaspiBlitz 1.3RC5 to your SDcard.
In this case we will adjust the numbers in the test, so it won`t cause an error in the next release,
06:11
If there is a voltage difference when attaching the HDD you will need external power for the disk or a higher Amper output power supply.

backup your lnd folder with

/home/admin/config.scripts/lnd.rescue.sh backup

and write a new SD with the latest 1.3RC5

also you can use markdown when posting logs. Put 3x ` on the line preceeding and following the multiline commands/logs

Hey guys i need some help with changing from mainnet to testnet
04:27
Currently im getting a lncli error
04:28
'[lncli] rpc error: code = Unknown desc = verification failed: signature mismatch after caveat verification'

make sure you are backed up if having any funds on mainnet

you will need to create a testnet wallet with lncli create

@asleB your tests on Noobs were only alright in the sense that attaching the HDD did not make the voltage drop, but your overall voltage is still lower than any other RPi4 we have seen.

There could be something wrong the power supply, cable, connector or the RPi4 board itself.

Do you have any other >3A power supply to try?
Also would suggest to use external power to the HDD with either a Y-cable or powered USB hub and start from scratch.

The bitcoin client by default won’t make more than 8 connections (outgoing which is the max) incoming you can modify the .conf and set that value up to 1k if I’m not mistaken...

Hi everyone! New here to the Raspiblitz LN. I got my node setup, fully synced and online. What is the ideal way to choose channels to connect to? Is autopilot recommended? I currently have it enabled and it connected to 1 channel. Any good guides out there on building connections? Thanks!
R
14:11
Rolf
Hi Chris, at the moment the autopilot is in my opinion not the best solution. You can check other nodes and statistics on 1ml.com
14:11
Also they are some good nodes that connect back to you.
14:12
You have to check the mimimum channel sats you need that they connect back or that you can establish a channel.

You are best to be a bridge between clusters of the network and be one of the few connections of popular merchants. I guess we are waiting for the AI-s here to make the decisions for us on the end.

Chris
So I should find two well connected nodes that are not directly connected to each other and connect to both of them myself?
o
14:30
openoms
that would be good, but well connected would imply that they are connected to each other too probably. Rather open one channel to one and have an incoming channel from an other one. Ideally keep both balanced. so you can have bidirectional traffic both ways
14:32
lnbig.com gives you an incoming channel for free, and you can open a similar size one to a node of your choice. Pay it forward rather than connect back,

rebuilds the block index (by going over all blk*.dat files, and finding things in it that look like blocks)
rebuilds the chainstate (redoing all validation for blocks) based on the blocks now in the index

hello, I need some advice
01:53
My HD failed a few weeks ago and the new one seems to be drawing too much current. I however left some channels open and would like to ideally not lose the funds in them. So last time I booted with the raspiblitz I generated a lnd-rescue package.
01:53
I've got bitcoin core synchronized on my desktop machine and just installed lnd there now.
01:55
I think I should now then move all the contents of this file (probably everything below `/mnt/hdd/`) to the lnd dir in my desktop.

is that correct?

In reply to this message
there are some video guides around and of course there rootzoll deep-dive presentation. I have not thought of starting with youtube videos, no :).
I look at RaspiBlitz mainly as an educational project (like the RaspiBolt) based on an open community and software so people are more likely to take up a bit of learning then from a plug-and-play solution (of which there multiple). Also this makes it very versatile and DIY friendly.
05:56
Saying that I think it is a good idea to have at least a collection of these videos on the same place and then maybe more people would want to create video content too.

i have the rpi3b and running raspiblitz on it.
i want to buy a rpi4 to run a second raspiblitz node. i want to build a NAS with that raspberry pi too. (the first idea was to create two SD cards (NAS system, raspiblitz system) and use several HDDs (blockchain, nas hdd1, nas hdd2) any idea if its possible to use the rpi4 as a NAS and a raspiblitz at the same time?
06:39
there are NAS operating systems for the raspberry pi, but this wont be an option for me because i will be running raspiblitz. what i need would be a NAS solution that I can install on top of raspiblitz. anyone having experience with that?
o
06:46
openoms
The LN node is a hot wallet, that is it is best to limit the functions and dependencies running om the same computer. It is worth to have a dedicated computer for that ( in oir case a an RPi)
If are adamant on this could be better building a NAS (like freenas, OMV etc) and setting up Bitcoin and LN on it.
C
06:47
CryptoMulde ⚡️
I mainly want to use the node for electrs and bitcoind validating network rules. dont plan on using LN with that node
06:48
basically the NAS function will only be used once a month or something as a backup of pictures and other important stuff
06:49
think i will try it with the NAS on demand approach and just use two SD cards and turn off the node once in a while
o
06:51

this does not sound like that you would want the RaspiBlitz stack here as it does affect the disks as well.
Just run a linux and set up on top manually. Samba shares are not that difficult to configure, the DietPi images have the setup inbuilt too.

if you use a hardware wallet there are is one all-round option: Electrum. Wasabi is great too, but only supports Native SegWit (bc1..) addresses.
Wasabi already uses the HWI interface which is in Bitcoin Core now too, but the functionality is limited for now and you cannot connect a Bitcoin Core wallet to remote full node.
https://github.com/bitcoin-core/HWI/blob/master/docs/bitcoin-core-usage.md
Using Electrum with you own Server is by far the best option currently.

the ssh info is on the HDD by the way so make sure there is no power issue causing the RPi to fail reading the HDD

the RaspiBlitz does not deal with the RPi firmware only the Raspbian running on it. You should be ok updating that independently.

This certainly should not be done with lnd and bitcoin running. Run a backup first
/home/admin/config.scripts/lnd.rescue.sh backup
and attempt the rpi-update when everyrhing is stopped. THERE IS A RISK OF BRICKING YOUR RPI!
Could also boot a clean Raspbian SD temporarily
(with an empty file named ssh put in /boot after flashing to allow ssh access) to run the update

you would need to clone it exactly to the new disk to preserve the UUID. Could use dd, Clonezilla or similar. Once cloned the partition could be grown too.

fake news my friend. Connect to my node, it can route route your payments: https://1ml.com/node/028a2cb8d51e44d7d7e108c2e80a98cc069145e05a6d2025cf554bd8866fe32993

You can route to tor and non tor - but non tor cant establish a conection to you @coinicarus thats what I tested with zap. Don't know if there is another posiblitiy to get a channel from non tor to tor
17:45
can you establish from non tor to tor? @openoms
o
17:46
openoms
a channel can be opened between peers. You cannot see behind to r from clearnet. So a tor node needs to add the clearnet one as a peer. Afterwards the clearnet node can open a channel too.
17:47
Once there is a channel LN does not care about IP-s or .onions. LN is a different layer.
o
17:49
openoms
the peer connection layer is on the internet/Tor protocol. Routing happens on the Lightning Network.
17:51
In reply to this message
confusing language. There is onion routing (as a principle) in both LN and Tor, but they happen independently on different layers.
C
17:51
Coinicarus
Yes! This is what Rene explains as well, but the answer is not clear

once you are communicating on LN the internet layer does not matter.

If you have autopilot turned on in lnd.conf, as soon as you start your node, it will open channels with whoever's around like (https://lnbig.com/#/) up to the percentage of your balance set and/or the number of channels you've set. for example here's my config, i turned autopilot off (autopilot.active=0):

[autopilot]
autopilot.active=0
autopilot.maxchannels=5
autopilot.allocation=0.6

But this means open 5 channels and fund them with 60% of my wallet balance automatically if it's turned on.

try 'telnet 291.168.2.136 22' if it doesn't dump you back to a prompt, the port is open and sshd is running. If it doesn't connect, sshd is likely not running.

Hey guys, hope you do good today. I had early version of the Raspiblitz (few moths ago) and after i return from work my pi3 as well as HDD was K.O. (thanks to water from my lovely neighbours that got all over my flat) Is there a way how to restore the Raspiblitz LN If i have all the passwords and seed? From what i have seen there is some infromation about "channel status" missing therefore the restoration might not be possible?

In reply to this message
Then I would prepare myself for the worst case. You might not be able to restore your channel funds. But if your channel counterparty force closes your channels you might still have a chance. Try contact them and hope for the best. Or wait until they eventuelly force close the channel due to you not being online.. :/
MJ
14:58
Martin Je
And the wy it works is that fund that were not allocated to any channel are still available? and only those that are in open channels are lost (for this moment) Or do i need all the channels to be closed?
15:05

Also is is possible to recreate the channel status file? (considering that i am able to find majority infromations about the node cahnnels online thanks to sites like 1ml.com )
MF
15:05
Mikael Flodén
In reply to this message
Your seed should be enough to recover the funds you didn't put in a channel. The channel is a multisig between you and your counterparty. They might still have your signature on the latest state. This means they can still force close that channel with the signature you gave them before the crash.

If it's a large amount of money/satoshis you probably buy another of the same hard disk and change (you, or a computer tech) the external circuit board on the hard drive and recover the important data that may not have been destroyed when the circuit board shorted due to the water.
Hard drives are sealed and water tight I'm pretty sure.
Or If possible buy the circuit board only from the HD maker or if you can find it on Ebay.

Mikael Flodén
In reply to this message
You need them to sign in order to move the funds (the channel is in a multisig). The information on 1ml.com is not enough to get a valid signature on the latest state. Contact them and tell them to close the channel with your node id. (this will ofc make them understand that you have lost the state, and if they want to they can now go back to ANY previous channel state without you being able to stop them).. but hopefully they are nice and just close the channel.

I made the setting from scratch like this:
- Raspberry pi4 with 4gb ram and original power supply, SSD connected via USB hub with additional power supply.
- formatted SSD (empty)
- new image "raspiblitz-v1.3-2019-09-05.img" on SD
- followed again all the steps to configure Raspiblitz (no TOR use)
- the process of unloading the blockchain begins, I leave it at 4% and I let it work all night, in the morning I find everything "frozen" with this message flashing on the MAC terminal.
- I gave a shutdown command but now I can no longer access via SSH from the MAC terminal.
Even the other times the same problem!
I have no solution!

read only error is very likely to be caused by the infamous UAS problem with SSD adapters. Make sure you use one from the list here: https://github.com/rootzoll/raspiblitz/issues/691#issuecomment-520526004
The SSD can be faulty too. Does it work on your PC?
When preparing on windows, no just only format, delete all partitions with a partition manager like Minitool Partition Wizard.

Yes. Check your lnd.conf file to see what IP rpclisten is pointed at. Mine was different than my pi IP so I had to connect to zap desktop manually by exporting the macaroon and tls cert and inputting the correct IP. Then I used zap desktop to connect to zap mobile using the connect code it provides.

Edit: as openoms has pointed out, i also reset my macaroons and tls cert from the EXPORT menu first.

I never had good luck downloading the block chain through torrent. Worked flawlessly for me by downloading the chain on my desktop and then transferring the data to the Pi over the home network.

Could somebody please do me a favour? Don't have to provide any personal info but could you look at your lnf.conf and tell me, does rpclisten, restlisten & tlsextradomain point to static IP for your pi for your LAN?

Mine looks like this

# RPC open to all connections on Port 10009
rpclisten=0.0.0.0:10009
# REST open to all connections on Port 8080
restlisten=0.0.0.0:8080
# Domain, could use https://freedns.afraid.org
#tlsextradomain=
tlsextraip=0.0.0.0

using 0.0.0.0 is quite dangerous! That means the entire internet. Of course, if your firewall is not allowing that port, it ends up meaning your entire subnet but still... best to narrow it down a bit.
15:08
My restlisten is set to restlisten=127.0.0.1:8081 but I'm not doing REST calls from other devices. In that case I'd set it to allow the client node on my home network as in: 192.168.88.10:8080 likewise with rpclisten: rpclisten=127.0.0.1:10009

Thanks for the reply. I haven't actually set this inside my conf file, not sure how it happened. Strange though I do use the 0.0.0.0 DNS service.. maybe the pi picked that up from my router. I have no ports open anyhow...

Ill try those settings out.

My issue is that I cannot open channels, it just fails with an error saying my node is syncing ... but it's fully synced. Looking around to see anything that might be wrong.

wallet of satoshi is a custodial wallet, you cannot open channels with it.

Hey, so the Sd Card is operational, formatted it, flashed it, etc...it looks like raspiblitz works but I get stuff on the display that possibly doesn’t come from the pi user?
When it boots it does all kinds of things and shows sth I can barely read like “...job running for Plymouth ...” ..when the boot process is half way there I get a random logo from the picture folder in the display so I know the raspiblitz goes online, however right after that one image it goes back to showing lines which also sometimes gets stuck and just shows “ooops: quit”

I can’t figure it out like that...when I’m in the main menu and want to see the screen it displays it in terminal like usually, but never on the lcd-display. I also changed some service settings around where I can rotate the display etc but it doesn’t change the content of what it displays. :/

Mi pi4 lost ssh Connection yesterday without any reason. The day before I updated my pi 3b and it took me several hours to get it up again. The problem was also ssh. I was not able to remotely connect to it. The problem is i can’t even use my machines without ssh because they don’t have screen and no connection to the internet where I connect them to a screen.

It is the original amazon screen from the German shopping list. It’s all the same parts. Has been running flawless before the fan and me installing it and uninstalling it again

or duckduckgo it:


You can use Shift+Ins to paste text.

From PuTTY documentation:

Pasting is done using the right button (or the middle mouse button, if you have a three-button mouse and have set it up; see section 4.11.2). (Pressing Shift-Ins, or selecting ‘Paste’ from the Ctrl+right-click context menu, have the same effect.) When you click the right mouse button, PuTTY will read whatever is in the Windows clipboard and paste it into your session, exactly as if it had been typed at the keyboard.

anyone knows in which step the raspiblitz inital setup configures the bitcoin.conf? when i restart my newly freshed PI4 it always gives me an error "bitcoind system not started" and i checked, it did not create bitcoin.conf. Anyone experience with that problem?

Hey Guys, I’m a complete noob and trying to find a good full node solution (Lightning less important to start). I’m bouncing between setting up my own Raspibolt or buying a pre-configured Raspiblitz... would welcome any thoughts on this

Hello fellow noob. I managed to set it up myself eventually. The video helped a lot and the comment section provided a crucial fix (press alt F2). It’s all working fine but you can buy a pre installed pi4 with screen and 1T hdd for €249 if I’m correct. If I had to do it again I would just buy it straight from the shelf.
03:42
Although it’s satisfying to get it to work eventually and going through the process. Take your time 🙂

Thanks Mike!
03:44
I want to learn too, but there’s a balance between that and actually being able to achieve the result (and not giving up in frustration)
03:45
Also primarily my objective is full node and Electrum mulit-sig for bitcoin storage... not necessarily Lightning node (although am certain I will be wanting that in the future)

The raspiblitz configuration went actually smooth. I tried just running a node by installing raspian and going through some older tutorials but got stuck every time.

My screen froze after set up and I reburned the img file a couple of times for it. Turned out you needed to press F2 to get it started 🤗

I don’t know. It works well with LND and is behind Tor which is nice

May sound like an obvious question, but what is the screen for?

No. You can also log in via another comp

You need to actively open channels with others &/or get others to open channels back to you. It's not an automatic thing that people open channels with you.

Wait one day and normally you get more connections. When the port is closed, you can't get more than 8 connections. I think your port are open and the connections should go up. I think raspiblitz shows not everytime the right color for the connection.

Question about Zap wallet... I recently setup a new node with v1.3 and am trying to setup Zap iOS wallet. Since I'm using Windows/PuTTY to ssh into the Pi, there is no easy way to shrink the QR code. The only other option is to get the lndconnect string, which has worked fine in the past. However, this time when I trying getting the lndconnect string I get an error message "-bash: lndconnect: command not found"

Don't know if this got answered already but you can reduce the font size of the putty session. Right click at the top of the window to get the drop down menu. Choose "change settings" under "appearance" change font. For me, I need to go to font 3 to get the QR code to size the can be read by Zeus, which is the mobile wallet I choose. Generate the QR code, scan in, increase font size again

electrs works flawless
15:42
it's a very satisfying upgrade. (still using both nodes)
15:43
boots faster and also IBD is waaay faster. installing and initiializing electrs took me less than a day and it runs smooth and perfect
15:44
syncing with a electrum wallet with many generated addresses really took ages on my pi 3b (like 10 mins or more) and oftentimes failed in the process of electrum sync (it says like 30/116, 32/116)
on the pi 3b it sometimes just died while doing that sync and started from zero
15:44
on the 4 it goes in under one minute
15:45
for simply running a bitcoin node and validating the consensus rules not needed. for soft LN usage also not needed. but IMO a fullnode has to be a node that is able to broadcast and verify your transactions and the easiest way to do this currently is electrs

Your filesystem is corrupted in some way. inodes are a basic component of linux ext3/4 filesystems. I'd unmount it and run 'fsck' on it.

In reply to this message
Another way to go is to install a node.js program called qrcode-terminal. This makes a qrcode out of any text. You install it like: 'npm install -g qrcode-terminal' (https://www.npmjs.com/package/qrcode-terminal)
Then you can pass it your wallet address and it may make a more easily resized qr code as in: qrcode-terminal "bc1qva4jz0fsu2alxgzdvt87fp44jxm5jy9glq4aaa"
16:03
If you have a mac, you can probably install it on the Mac.

I would not advise opening port 10009 on your router. That is an rpc port and could get you hacked. Dyn dns is only needed if you are accessing something by DNS name like a website rather than IP address. Not needed for bitcoin or lnd at all.

Yikes, zap wallet requires public grpc? Let’s hope part of the qrcode is a very good password.

In that case dynamic DNS could be useful because if you set Zap wallet it to your public IP and it changes you’ll have to reconfigure your wallet.
21:36
If you set it to a dynamic DNS name the dynamic DNS service will Simply update the public IP that the name you choose points at and your wallet won’t have to care about it

It defines a standard format for encoding lnd credentials (host, port, cert, macaroon) and displaying as a scannable QRCode both in the Desktop and iOS Zap apps. I wrote a node library to handle the encoding and decoding which we use in Zap Desktop."

Do you mean you are hooking your external drive up to your Windows machine to make changes to it? That is probably a bad idea, you'd be better off learning some linux commands to use from an ssh session. Like 'mkdir' makes a directory. 'rmdir' removes an empty one. 'mv' renames things. You can use built in help (as in 'mkdir --help') to learn how to use a command or look at the manual pages 'man mkdir' or use internet: https://linux.die.net/man/1/mkdir. to delete a file or tree of files, look up the 'rm' command https://linux.die.net/man/1/rm be very careful with it though!

Also I'd personally recommend upgrading to Pi4 so you can leave Electrs running 24/7 or using EPS. Having to turn Electrs on and off got me into trouble at times.

@CryptoMulde having no other server should i install electrum personal server first or easier google?
C
08:49
CryptoMulde ⚡️
No. No server needed
08:50
I only had a problem setting up nginx and Dyndns so I hacked around it by forwarding the port when I need the server
08:51
I am not using the google cloud server anymore. I am using serveo.net today and activate it on demand (free and easy)
08:51
Just do it don’t be scared 😉
l
08:51
luc4prog
so better solution than electrum private server?
08:52
i am not scared.. i am a noob. 😊
C

CryptoMulde ⚡️
There is not a big difference. In eps you have to give it every xpub you want to keep track of. Electrs creates a database for everything and you can connect any wallet
08:52
Electrs is more resource intensive obviously
08:53
I like the “freedom” of Electrs
l
08:54
luc4prog
so just to clarify... electrs has same function as EPS... they are two options to have raspiblitz work as a validating node
C
08:55
CryptoMulde ⚡️
Yes
Eps is lighter because it only tracks what you give it
l
08:56
luc4prog
ok clearer now.... i just need to understand which installation suits my skills...

Use Electrs from openoms because you have the script ready and just do one command

so what should i chose when remote connection optipns?

Use the nginx and certbot stuff
l
09:13
luc4prog
just download the link given?
09:15
ok sound easy.. will try... do you suggest a backup of raspiblitz before proceding?
09:20
first time i checked out this way to connect. it's easy and works. just configured in two mins

09:23
luc4prog
so this is alternative to nginx stuff?
C
09:23

There is a free market for routing fees and those nodes are connecting the whole network. With their increased fees we will probably start to see more routing activity on our nodes (with mostly default settings).
Ln.alhur.es shows the fees for the channels really well.

I am running electrs on my pi4 fine. It indexed in less than a day. Only problem is that when you run electrs over TOR you cannot connect to it via electrum mobile because the mobile version forces you to use SSL and a TOR connection reuquires TCP. There is currently an issue open about it https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/5278. I am able to connect fine via desktop electrum though.

It might be that LN got you excited to run a full node and realised that you are not using it much? Well that is absolutely fine but the benefit is huge if you got to be real Bitcoin citizen in the meantime.

Hi, I'm new to the group. I installed raspiblitz on a RPI4. It's all up and running, sync'ed and funded. So far it has been a smooth ride 😊. However, I happen have the official 7" raspberry LCD instead of the small 3.5" one. While I can access all the raspiblitz interfaces via SSH my LCD is stuck showing the kernel boot log 😞. Does anybody know how to make raspiblitz use the raspberry LCD instead?

I’ve arrived at full node via security and now privacy... yet to make the leap but close! Like that there is a big interest in LN, but at the same time don’t get why. I guess like most I was drawn to bitcoin / crypto for the wealth potential, but as bitcoin is not yet a medium of exchange I’ve no desire to spend it right now

I'm running into the following issue: bitcoin@blitzin:/home $ mkdir /mnt/hdd/electrum-personal-server

@coinicarus just listened to this latest Lightning roundtable. Great work, good job at getting all these people together! Very excited about Electrum Server, BTCPay and possibly the Loop service coming to the next 1.4 release.
11:02
One remark regarding Tor and being discoverable on the Lightning Network as I think is still not completely clear:

Tor works on the Internet (TCP/IP) layer. The connections on the Internet are between IP addresses (masked to be domains or URL-s). Tor obfuscates the origin and destination of packages with a layered encryption tech called onion routing (hence the logo).

LN is a network in itself layered on top of the Internet but not dependent on it. The communication is between URI-s (Unified Resource Identifiers = LN node public keys).

The confusion might have been caused by the fact that LN routing uses the underlying principle of onion routing too (layered encrypted packages) for the communication between nodes.

In the roundtable you spoke about that regardless of running a node behind Tor a node gets publicly advertised on the Lightning Network once it has a public channel. That info becomes the part of the public gossip about routes.

That's why there can be a routing node running behind Tor. The LN channel info is public, only it does not get tied to an IP address.

Hope that clears it a bit.

What's the best way to use Zap on iOS with my Raspiblitz if I'm running LN node over Tor? Or should I just disable Tor on LN node for now?

Another question: my raspiblitz displays shows I'm on Tor for both bitcoin and LN, but in RTL i can see IP:port of my peers. How come? Isn't LND configured to exclusively use Tor?

Does anyone know if it is possible to open a channel between Zap and my LN tor node?

I'm trying to set up a payment channel between the Zap testflight mainnet client and my raspiblitz node running over tor. When I enter my <public key>@hostid.onion:port string as peer address I get: rpc error code: Unknown desc = lookup hostid.onion: no such host. Can I make this work or can I only connect to other full nodes if running behind tor?

Has anyone built a Raspiblitz using the Pi 4 4gb with the fan shim and 3.5 LCD? Or just with the Pi 3 so far? I ordered a new LCD to test and this one still does not work when the fan shim is installed on the Pi 4.

I then decided to try the same fan shim and LCD on my Pi 3b and it works great. Could this be a issue with this combination on all Pi 4 4gb or do I have a faulty Pi 4?

It fits fine. The issue is when both the fan shim and LCD are installed at the same time on the Pi 4, the fan works and the LCD powers on but it fails to display anything. If I remove the fan shim, the LCD works as intended.

I think you have the posibility to access through ssh and onion with portforwarding the onion port, when you altough allow ssh and portforwarding on your raspiblitz. maybe disallow bash with ssh. http://www.produnis.de/blog/?p=2403

I figured out an eloquent solution to more simply use Electrum to connect to Electrs on your Raspiblitz both over LAN and TOR and figured I'd share it. This is for Linux only. I'm running Mint 19, not sure if it's possible on other distro's..

Basically I'm just using the launcher feature instead of pasting the relevant commands into the terminal every time I want to run Electrum.

Right click on the desktop and select 'create new launcher here'. Fill out the relevant command from openoms github found here to connect to your pi over LAN and here to connect to your pi over TOR. Select an icon for the launcher and add a comment for mouseover. I took the icon for Electrum from Electrum.org and added a TOR & 'LAN' graphic respectively. Then you may simply add these launchers to your dock for quick & easy use!

Gif to show how this looks to follow, I'll include the icons I made in case anybody would like to use them.

nice work and great icons! Is it ok if I pull them into the guide?

BTW the script is updated:
* made to be one line only
* automatically sets up the systemd service
* uses a self signed SSL certificate which does not need port forwarding and dyndns to be active during setup.
* sets up the Tor Hidden Service during the setup if Tor is active

Recommended for RPi4-s and still can be run intermittently on RPi3-s using the systemctl commands.

I would not recommend using the shim fan - in only one week it broke and is now vibrating a lot, cooling suboptimal leading to throttling. That + moving parts + it's noisy makes it less than ideal. I ordered the flirc case because I wont need the display, but I understand others might want it. Using the flirc case with a GPIO cable might work for that. Otherwise this might work with the display: https://wickedaluminum.com/collections/frontpage/products/raspberry-pi-4-open-shield-case-with-heat-dissipation it's expensive however

Are we sure the Pi 4 has been confirmed to work with the fan shim and LCD installed at the same time? I have now tested it on two separate Pi 4's and it does not work on either board. Another user just came forward with the same issue on his Pi 4 as well. I'd like to get this figured out to let other's know not to buy the parts if it won't work. I have a thread on it here https://forums.pimoroni.com/t/3-5-lcd-wont-work-with-fan-shim/11687/10

on reboot unless you enable auto-unlock it will always ask to unlock

if you are having issues with port forwarding etc the best option is to use to which doesn't expose your ip and hence your location to the lightning network

if it seems like the settings are messed up the easiest solution is to burn a new SDcard.
You can run:

to bypass the menu and be guided through a backup before changing the SDcard.
Choose Update anyway to carry on.

your IP is not public so clearnet nodes won`t be able to connect first, The Tor node needs to connect first in that case. Connect means adding as apeer.
If there is a peer connection either way a channel can be opened freely.
If there is a channel established the connection is kept regardless of Tor.

@openoms just wondering ... is there any interest from the raspiblitz team to including other node implementations into the SERVICES menu? I certainly don't want to degrade the performance of my node for the Bitcoin & LN but I would be very interested in running a Monero and RSK node on my pi if it could handle it. Especially RSK as it adds functionality to the Bitcoin protocol much like the LN.. There are rumors of a pi4 with 8Gb of ram coming also...

Just a thought.

In reply to this message

02:20
In reply to this message
I don't see any advantage of Monero vs using Bitcoin with care. As usage is low the anonimity set of Monero is minimal even if it promises onchain privacy. Certainly not store of value, so one needs to go back to Bitcoin anyway. Coinjoin+LN does the job.
RSK is not a bitcoin project. Could speak about Liquid if any federated sidechain.
Saying that you can implement anything you want there is room on the RPi4, but tha RaspiBlitz is a Bitcoin+LN node first of all. I consider Litecoin to be a weird residuum too only because it supported SegWit and LN early.
S

Sim
In reply to this message
I agree with your comments regarding Monero, it's really just an interest for myself, the only alt I find really interesting actually.

As for rsk, my knowledge on it is pretty minimal. From what I'd gathered its a sidechain that allows for more complex smart contracts. Basically, after you've locked some Bitcoin into the sidechain you get a similar experience to Ethereum.. as far as I know anyway. Liquid did come to mind also, certainly no other alts though..

Oracles are definitely an issue. My experience with trading stocks is via CFD's which doesn't really translate over to tokenization.. Aren't you able to just buy stocks outright from a broker to be sold at some point in the future? This is how I imagine it working via tokenization... I could be way off though. I guess the current methods of price discovery would become the new oracles of that system..

I definitely use stable coins though for a couple of macro trades throughout the year.. I understand the risk there but the amount is too high to sell to fiat and have sent to a bank account without it being flagged/blocked..

The problem lies within the transfership of the value. We would need digital property books that can communicate with blockchains. It’s not possible to connect the old analogous world to the new blockchain economy.

Sooo I came home from work yesterday and my lnd was failing to run. I have sucessfully unlocked it, but lnd never actually starts running and then gets stuck in an error loop. Did some research on github and saw similar issues. I'm getting the "edge not found" message. Tried a few proposed fixes of disabling all features but problem still persists. Is my lnd database corrupted?

Here are the error logs:

I've noticed that opening channels with bigger hubs tends to counter-productively lead to a lot more payment failures.
17:19
Because I've been running into a lot of Second-Hop channel failures.
17:20
OpenNode and Casa Store were particularly bad about that, so I unfortunately closed my channels with them :(

Also I've been keeping a hard rule of opening channels with only nodes that can operate on Tor. Preferring nodes accessible to both Tor _and_ clearnet.

A full electrum server gives you more freedom in using any number of wallets and letting others to connect too. Also there is no wait for the initial scan for adresses.
EPS needs the least resources, but most SBC-s (with more than 1 GB RAM) deal with Electrs just as well.

So I have been chipping away at this problem. I tried the update route and sucsessfully downloaded the backup and stoped the daemons. But when I went to force unmount the HDD, I get the following:
umount: /mnt/hdd: target is busy

I was able to pull up the processes running on HDD and followed some tutorials to stop those processes, but no luck yet. Am I doing something wrong? I tried stopping the daemons with other commands but still get
 target is busy
when I go to unmount

never seen errors during the build of electrs. Not sure what this memory reference erro would mean. Could be a physical error on the SDcard or a faulty RAM?
It would worth to open an issue in the electrs repo as it is unlikely to be a problem with the script itself.
First you can also run the build command in the script manually and catch the full output.

Okay I've been able to build by using rustup to install the previous version. Is there any way to get an indication of progress towards building the indexes? systemctl indicates electrs is running. Where should it be storing the indexes it builds? the /mnt/hdd/electrs directory just has the conf, key, and cert files.

Question, how long does it take to set-up a BTC node Raspiblitz on a RBP4, with Tor and Electrs (will skip lightning for now)... I’m a complete noob and non-tech
RD
13:37
Rich D
In reply to this message
Setting up the BTC node and letting it sync will take about 2.5 days. Make sure you have a good case that directs heat away from the board using either a fan or using its body as a heat sink (e.g. FLIRC case)
13:44
In reply to this message
Tor is just a matter of configuration when you set up the node. I would not try to do the initial sync over TOR; clearnet is better for initial sync. The configuration screens you will go through to set up the node will warn you about this and give you clear options
13:47
In reply to this message
You should wait until your node is sync'd to set up electrs. @openoms has a script that is supposed to automate everything, but It doesn't appear electrs can be built with the latest version of Rust. I'm on day 2 of trying to set it up, and I've had to alter this script to downgrade Rust. I've finally got it indexing, and that should take 12-18 hours.
13:58
In reply to this message
Some random things I've learned over the week:

1. You don't need an LCD screen. Just an ethernet cable and a power source (official raspberry pi 4 ac adapter works well). Once the Pi is powered up, you configure it by connecting to it on your local network over SSH.
2. As far as external usb drives are concerned, I wish I had chosen a 1 TB drive for a full node scenario + electrs. With the 500GB drive, I'll start hitting capacity limits in 3 years or less
3. FLIRC case is awesome. No fan noise, and it keeps the Pi from overheating like a champ.
4. I should have started to use lightning sooner than I did. Using it leads you to ask the right questions (e.g. inbound liquidity problems and options)
5. electrs is kind of difficult to set up, but apparently it was easier as recently as a week ago

In reply to this message
Give yourself
10-15 minutes to generate 4 unique passwords
half an hour to put the hardware together
about an hour to write the raspiblitz image to a microsd card
about 1-2 hours to run through the initial config steps. No extra effort is necessary to set up lightning.

I'd say 3-4 hours and your node should be up and syncing

At the moment SD cards have inferior performance and durability. Not a good idea as it's more likely to fail or give you corrupted data requiring reinstall and resync the blockchain. Perhaps they will improve SD card quality in the future. Remains to be seen.

there will be no solution for these if you run BTCpayserver on the RaspiBlitz. Most functionality (like ssh and logs) are managed by RaspiBlitz so BTCpayserver is somewhat limited.
To have full functionality for BTCPayServer run it in itself with docker (without RaspiBlitz) on the RPi as described here: https://docs.btcpayserver.org/deployment/raspberrypideployment
You can have more info on chat.btcpayserver.org.

that is certainly not normal. SDcards which are low quality, fake or reaching their end of life show some serious slowdown first before becoming read-only.
I would recommend to exchange the SDcard to a new, quality one (like the endurance one in the shopping list) when updating. Also can try to seset your TLS certificate and macaroons from the EXPORT menu to sort out mobile wallet connection problems.

I consider BTCpayserver in a working state in this additional install with the RaspiBlitz, but is aimed at advanced users who know how to deal with the differences.
If you want to run a store for example and not just play around and test would recommend running BTCpayserver with their Docker setup and benefit from the full support and update process the BTCpayserver team provides.
As it is stated in the guide the manual install is not the recommended way of using BTCpayserver by the dev team, but it suits my needs better.

I agree with the thoughts of most, spinning rust and cheap cards cause issues. A decent SanDisk card is c.15€ these days and SSD drives are well under 100€. IMHO if you spend a few extra euro at the beginning it saves a lot of time. Also, I copied my MicroSD to my laptop, allowing me to rollback if required, hopefully will minimal downtime and losses. I really hope lightning grows and becomes the key to financial infrastructure inversion.

I had that same exact problem on my Pi 4 4gb with fan shim and 3.5 display attached. Never could figure it out. Tried a new display, Pi 4, power supply, and fan shim. None of it helped. I honestly think it is a compatibility issue with the Pi 4 but others say they have it working. 🤷‍♂️

Maybe they are doing something different with the new batch? All of these issues are with recent purchases

I can assure you it is the fan and don't waste money on a new screen, Pi, power supply, or even a reinstall on a new SD card. I tried it all. Ended up getting a USB fan and said the hell with it.

Def sounds like they changed something in making them, on purpose or by accident (manufacturing flaw?).
Pimoroni needs to get to the bottom of it. But I'd still like to see the syslog (cmd above) to see if it gives any clues to the problem - what/where/when a service is failing?

i'm assuming pi4 prioritises the cpu, the gigabit ethernet and usb 3.0 (which itself can power other devices) over the GPIO connector. If the fan powerdraw has increased in the last batch, maybe there isn't enough to go around anymore

My guess is that Pimoroni have changed the code to setup the service controlling the fan. I see code changes from a couple months ago on their github page related to Python, Pi4, and GPIO pins. This prob broke it as they don't test with the LCD's I'm guessing. Someone should update the issue wiht Pimoroni and try to have then test with one of the LCD screens.

I only see one formal "release" of their code, so probably when you install you are "silently" pulling in their newest code. Not sure if there's a way to install the older, presumably working, release(s).

from their site:
"Our Python library lets you control the fan (on/off), RGB LED, and switch. There's a handful of examples to show you how to use each feature, and a script to install a daemon (a service that runs in the background) that runs the fan in automatic mode, triggering it on or off when the CPU reaches a threshold temperature, with a manual override via the tactile switch."

I have exactly the same problem. My Shim Fan broke and they send me a new one. With the new Fan attached I have the same problem, as in your video. When I wanted to replace the fan also my SD card crashed (my fault, I powered off the Pi during a reboot). I flashed a new SD Card and did a restore from hdd with the new fan attached. The restore took ages, with the new fan attached. At first I thought there were problems with the restore and with the hdd, but in fact it is the new fan, that is causing the problem!

There is financial cost and then there is the more important opportunity-cost (time, your most precious resource). Meaning, you lose the opportunity of having your *attention* on other things that have a better probability of value return - be that useful knowledge and/or financial reward. In short, you may be waisting time learning about some shitcoin that goes nowhere instead of learning more about Bitcoin, Lightning, programming, protocols, smart-contracts, etc. This is something that people rarely think about or mention with dumb alt-coin projects. They suck away the attention of users and developers that could otherwise be focused on and help advance good/deserving projects. That's not to say that there are NO arguably good/deserving alt-projects. IMO there are. But they're just very rare and hard to find in the sea of junk.

Thus the reason I am here messing with Lightning. I can imagine most of the people at the stage of running a Lightning node have been in the space for some time and crave for more. The process of claiming a airdrop can also be a learning experience in itself. How many people have actually used their Bitcoin wallet to sign a message at this point? If I can use a small amount of my time participating in a interesting concept (to me) using resources that I already have, why not? It can be argued that someone investing a substantial amount of time learning to code or operating a lightning node could be a waste of their time if they never plan to or never will gain any value from it in the future. For many of us, it's just the hobby and that has value.
